It would be a hate crime if the roles were reversed.
Your head need to stay on a swivel. Most people are pretty clueless about this kind of stuff, present company at PF excluded of course.

I recently was talking to the girlfriend of my step son about personal security when she goes away to college. The talk could be summed up with the phrase, "Put the F**king cell phone down and pay attention..."
There's nothing civil about this war.
And do we take the key from the ignition, and not have other keys or the remote fob hanging off it for a free bonus with it when its in the ignition (or have keyless ignition), and lock the doors even when right next to the car when getting gas, or not leave valuables in sight even though standing next to the car, or leave papers in the glove box with our name and address on it, or leave registration and insurance info in the car when not in it....(none specifically asking Rich, just general comments after he mentioned getting gas)
Theres tons of youtubes of people crashing and burning when trying to walk and text at the same time. Yes, its pretty amazing what so many people will do and be totally oblivious to whats happening around them.
Some days I feel like I’m the only one who can see, and everyone around me is blind.
Another related problem is that some females (and some males too) won’t look at people in public because they think it invites problems.
It’s easy to create a virtual reality of false security.

I feel like I have missed a lesson.
I’m among friends, so let me ask: should I not keep a copy of my insurance card and registration in my glove box?
I do keep my registration there still, though I've considered digitizing it.
My insurance company has a phone app with readily-displayed cards, so that's what I use. In my experience LE is fine with that nowadays.
The concern, I suppose, is similar to that of a woman having her purse snatched or a man having his wallet stolen: the thief now knows where you live if he smashes your window.
I do keep enough cash in the car to get me home should I need it, though it's in a compartment so as not to attract attention.
