As much as this can present a problem, I'd say that everyone should learn how to deal with situations like this in real life. Parts of my own town are places I'd never want to go at night. But in other parts, I'd feel fine leaving everything unlocked.

It's like the Championships in Atlanta every year and the homeless/hobos/panhandlers who press you every five seconds for money. If you've never been in situations like that before, you may panic. Once if you've learned how to deal with traveling through innercity places, they are no longer a major problem. And that's a nice life skill to have, especially at many Regionals and the Championships.
