Lock your doors. Be aware of your surroundings. The best way to avoid a bad situation is to pay attention to what’s going on around you and trust your gut when something seems off. I was attacked by muggers in Buenos Aires, and I saw it coming, literally a block away. I knew I was about to be mugged, but shrugged it off, assuming I was overreacting to the situation. Trust your gut and opt to look foolish rather than falling prey to a preventable tragedy.
