Another friend with binoculars and also armed waits in a van a few rows over with a walkie-talkie to warn you if you face a van-load of attackers to get ready.

It's more fun to just giftwrap some festering rotten garbage, then leave it in the back of a pickup at the mall.

Even if you don't own a pickup, there are always plenty of them available at the mall

How dark do residential alleys usually get at 3PM?

Not since the last draft, they don't.

It certainly is; I've managed to avoid driving in rush hour traffic for years while still maintaining gainful employment.

Funny, I've been there at 2-4AM on the way home from work, and most of the women who worked that shift carpooled for "safety in numbers."

The one that bugs me is the local Starbucks that will send women to carry the trash to the dumpster in a dark alley unescorted. Their lot backs up against the client site I'm working at, and I've had to have several drunks, including some very belligerent ones, removed from that alley. I don't like going there alone, and sending an attractive college girl out there with a double armload or trash bags is just irresponsible, IMO.

So I guess all those idiots who drive during rush hour are just begging to die in wrecks. Not to mention the ones who leave their homes unoccupied during the day; they must want to be victims of burglars.
