If I am making a late night ATM run, I always give Sam or Andrew a call. For a pint of Ben and Jerry's, they provide personal, armed escort to and from my destination. Further, for maximum effect, they stand around the ATM doing the Secret Service thing with an ear piece. Their response time is terrific and nothing feels safer than walking with an bad-ass computer-type who has a permit to carry.

Don't make it easy for the would-be perp. The one and a half times that I have been mugged, they were either kids, drunk or inexperienced. The one time I turned around to the two who were following me and shouted "Keep your distance." The persons took offence at this. In the meantime I scampered to the next corner where someone was walking their dog. The two did not follow but returned to their haunt. It might be a good thing for the community, perhaps in concert with the UCD, give one of those street sense seminars where they go over these various techniques?
