When I walk through the parking lot of - say - the mall, I don't look for trouble (though it is a favorable territory...)
Granfire, I know what you mean, but change that to "I look for trouble" and you're now thinking pro-actively. It's kind of like looking for icy spots in the winter so you can avoid them. We've had a kidnapping of a female and some robberies in a high class mall, and the murder of a family in a good neighborhood. Also the parking lots of a big retailer is notorious for robberies. So don't fully turn off your awareness just because you're in a good place.
Keep one eye out for trouble and stay alert.
