RE: Market Friday A Market for the Mind Part 2
I think people are generally clueless and unobservant and have become so much more so with the advent of cell phones! Criminals must love it.

That’s a good point about criminals something I had not thought about
yeah like pick pockets used to have to distract people, now people are already distracted!
Yes I was thinking about pick pockets as soon as you mentioned it
Have you ever been a victim since you've been in the city all these years?
NO Not in NYC, but have been attempted a few times almost pick Pocketed in Singapore, House Break-In In Bosnia, and an attempted Mugging in both Auckland New Zealand and Nairobi Kenya, Attemp[ted because i came out better from the encounter, bruised but not broken and lost nothing, in better shape than those that tried to mug me LOL
I always try to avoid confrontation when I can, but when pushed into it I used to be able to look after myself
Oh how interesting...so you fought off the mugging attempts and they finally ran away?
The One in Nairobi yes, that was easy one swing and they two guys decided it wasnt a good idea, the one in New Zealand, three young guys came up behind me and one swung a chain from behind thay hit my back and swung round and hit my face, I lost it and laid into them Luckily when the ambulance and police arrived they were stupid enough to admit they were trying to Mug me LOL
had some nice bruises from that chain
Holy cow! One doesn't think of New Zealand as a place where you would get mugged. And why they hung around for the police is baffling too. Getting hit with a chain had to hurt like crazy! No wonder you went off on them. lol.
