For clarity this is my local high street.
This is an outlier, it’s not a common occurrence. (I have never heard of another similar incident there)
People should wear what they feel comfortable with in the environment they find themselves in, there is no right or wrong. But I do feel you could be a victim anywhere if you are unlucky enough.

Edit:
As a complete coincidence I have just had a conversation with my sister who mentioned she is no longer comfortable wearing her 2 tone Date Just due to the crime shown on social media. She lives in London, has never been subjected to crime, witnessed watch crime or knows anyone who has been subjected to watch crime but the all pervasive social media seems to be one of the sources of the concern being felt.
I have said it’s probably for the best as it makes her look like a 2nd hand car salesman….
