When I tell people I am from New York City, they often ask me, \you ever been mugged?\who have been robbed of their wallet by someone with a pistol or knife, and some of them more than once. I don't think that this is because New York City is a more dangerous place than other cities. In fact, there are other cities with higher crime (82)______. More accurately, New York City is presently the 5th most likely major U.S. city in which to (83)______. New York City is a place where public buses and trains are used a lot. (84)______, people do a lot of walking between their home or work and the bus or train and actually come in (85)______ with other people. This probably (86)______ a greater risk of (87)______ on the street. Most other cities are places where people use personal cars to (88)______ and so they don't come in face-to-face contact with as many people on the streets. I think being part of a community and using public buses and trains is (89)______ the extra risk. I mean that if I did live someplace else with fewer robberies, it would probably mean living in a place where I would be driving a car more. (90)______ the risk of getting robbed on the way home, I would be (91)______ risk of getting in a car accident.
Anyway, I like to think I haven't been mugged because I have made good (92)______ about my safety.

There are a few simple things that I do, (95)______, to stay out of dangerous situations. A majority of robbers attack their victims at night in (96)______ that are not lit well and lack other people. I do what I can to avoid this type of area. Also, when going out at night, I try to go out with other people. During the day, I don't go (97)______ areas of town that I am not familiar (98)______ if I am alone, at least not areas that don't have a lot of people. When (99)______ through a parking lot, I try not to walk between parked cars. And finally, if something seems odd about a place or street, I go the other way. Those are the major things I do.
