What safety precautions can I take before leaving the house?

Before you leave the house you really need to plan what you are going to do that day and what precautions you may need to take. For example, if you're driving downtown in the big city you might want to prepare yourself differently than if you're going out to a rural location or social gathering. You need to consider what you are going to take when you leave the house, and whether it's necessary. A large bag would attract more attention than a small bag, high-heels limit your mobility and expensive jewelry could make you a target for thieves; finding a balance between necessity and practicality is key.
