Good to see you posting Dave ... so time to add my ''welcome''!!
Jody ..... that stuff you describe happening around your area is scary ..... and sad it has to be such. As you rightly imply tho - your awareness is paramount, as well as taking measures to minimize opportunity for the slimeballs.
Strikes me - it is often useful to view a situation or geographical location, and try and see it thru the eyes of a potential attacker. Spot all the useful features that would make a strike work better.
That way, we can maybe pre-empt their plans, all the better to avoid getting into situations ...... my first choice every time!
BTW Jody - subject to it being confirmed ..... Jamie is trying to fix a PA shoot for 30th Oct .. again at Water and Wings like before. I'll try and keep up to speed on this and let folks know as and when it is a firm date. Hoping Eric might manage to come too.
