Do you also dress conservatively whenever you go out at night? Isn't that the same thing?

I step into the road when I have a right - while being careful, but still taking a risk that isn't strictly necessary - because it is my right and I care about that.

I don't leave valuables in plain sight in my car when I leave it, and I lock the door on my dwelling. I don't go around flashing wads of cash.

This is not victim blaming, as flashing cash does not reduce the culpability of the robber in the slightest. I just don't care to be a target. And that's my choice.

That's your choice if you want to, but I think a campaign encouraging people to hide valuables/hide cash would be a bad thing. (I know some police campaigns do this). Locking doors is a bit different as it clearly communicates intent.
