I see your very good point but still, it’s been my observation that many people walk, run, whatever in the wild while completely distracted looking at phones, lost in tunes etc. People need to wake up and be a lot more aware and have a plan.

And parking lots- get your keys ready (if needed) before you even leave the store or bldg. Secure your purse next to body and packages in one hand so you have the other free, walk with purpose, eyes open, get off your phone, haul ass, secure your stuff quickly while keeping your head up observing the area. Super pet peeve of mine. Sit and watch how distracted people are at the next opp. It will blow your mind.

Waistband running belt, 380, keys and ID.
If you think no one does, you’re wrong and if people think it’s impractical, it’s not and city runners are going to need to learn to adapt.
