>>46022 I always try to get lifts from friends to go from place to place after 7 pm and whenever possible, i only carry my phone with me, which i don't mind losing Most robbers are in the business due to addiction; police is mostly useless, and gun laws are restrictive, which ends making the civilians even more vunerable
