Then there's also those of us who refuse to live our lives on the defensive. We cultivate good, alert neighbours who aren't afraid of approaching strangers with a friendly "Hi - can I help you with something?". Sure we take reasonable precautions, but often leave our home and car unlocked, items unattended, and deliveries left on our porch.
This senior has never been robbed, seriously threatened, scammed or hacked - ever, and I feel sorry for people who live fearful lives.
Sure, it can happen to me, but I'll accept that - there's too many good things to enjoy in this short life without a paranoia of the bad.
