I was mugged and carjacked about a year ago. That never happened to me before in my life, despite being in "iffy" places where other people have been robbed, including East Vancouver (B.C.) and areas of Los Angeles, San Fran, etc.
Then a few months later I was mugged. A month after that I was mugged again. Yesterday I was mugged for the fourth time in a year, although this time was at gunpoint - not with a knife waved in front of me.
I live and shop in a "good" area of a "good" smaller city (where I live) and each time it happens here in broad daylight in a busy place (3 times in a busy store parking lot, 1 time in front of a restaurant). I don't wear flashy clothes. I don't wear jewellery when I go out any more and never have flashed expensive jewellery. I don't walk around looking down - I DO look all around me and in each case I saw the guy (2 guys yesterday) coming. I don't get it. When you get robbed once do they put some kind of mark on you that only other theives can see?
