At 5'8" I'm no Arnold Scwharzenegger -- but being male, of course,
I can expect less trouble.

I suspect almost all burglaries could be prevented by moderately
more careful attention to home security. It's amazing how careless
some people are. Burglary is my main worry, and I have a house
that's secure -- and doesn't look like a fortress. 

There's no need for any average-sized male to fear mugging if he
projects a sense of being attentive to his surroundings. The
following analogy occurs to me: I once got caught by a radar
speed trap because I was daydreaming, unaware that I was in the
lead. Since then, I've made sure that somebody else is always
going faster than I am; I call it a "radar shield." With that
learned to the point of habit, I can even get in a little
daydreaming. When walking in the city, do the reverse: make sure
you're walking =faster= than the slowest person around.
Let the guy in your rear be your "urban hyena insurance"...
