But if you think of it in terms of probability, some places are much more conducive to RBS - you can reduce your odds of being victimized by avoiding certain places.

Other things can increase your risk: if you walk around wearing lots of gold and jewelery; if you tend to get drunk and pass out in alleys; if you drive certain car models (which is why I'm surprised the guy in this story replaced his car with the same model); if you walk down the street unaware of what's happening around you - you'll increase your risk of being a victim.

You can't decrease your risk to zero, but you can substantially reduce it.
