Hello all,
I wonder often enough how dangerous it is to wear any large bling out and how much unwanted attention it might attract. I don't mean to instill fear in anyone by any means, but I ponder if anyone else shares this fear...
I'm referring to robberies of any kind... a sly pickpocket that slips your ER off without you even being aware, or GOD forbid, a gang that follows/corners you and demands to have your diamond earrings.
Am I being too paranoid?
For example, do those who live in larger metropolitan cities ride the subway without concern?
Should I think twice before bringing my ER and diamond studs to a city like Miami, Chicago or Manhattan?
(Note: I don't think these cities are particularly dangerous, but am using those as examples because they are a short flight away and a favorite weekend getaway from where I live, which is near Toronto).
I think it would help to put things into perspective if you include details on the size of your ER/studs/bling and the city you live in (if you feel comfortable doing so, that is). If you would rather not share those details, perhaps at least include the city in question?
