You're basically likely to get mugged if you wander around looking lost,
or use your mobile phone in an obvious place.

Flashing a rolex, whilst getting out of a taxi, fumbling with a full wallet
of twenties also helps!

If you walk around
looking as though you know where you're going, you are far less likely
to be marked out as vulnerable.

Streetwise, in other words. All those children wrapped up in cotton wool
these days will have some hard lessons to learn later in life.
