- She walks with her head down, unobservant
- She's listening to a walkman
- She walks with a sort-of defeated, slouching posture
- The opening of her shoulder bag is turned outwards
- The strap of her shoulder bag is on the same-side
shoulder
- She's got valuable-looking jewelry in plain view
- She's burdened down with too many packages and parcels
- She's wearing high-heeled shoes unsuitable for running

"If you've ever watched Wild Kingdom, you know that
a lion doesn't just make a beeline for the nearest antelope
to attack it; Instead the predator first surveys the herd
unobtrusively to select his prey. His ideal victim won't be
paying attention, won't be looking around, and might be grazing
with its head down - as if uninterested in its own survival.
This lets the predator move closer without being noticed,
while the apparently weak survival instinct lets him know
that the victim will probably be an easy target."

TARGET, Page 32 "Awareness"
