Stop and think about opportunity - very few folk on the road that stop in rest
areas, are overly endowed with cash or other negotiables, - Query - why would
you stop in a rest area to do your thing? You have to have a vehicle to get
there in the first place and (if they aren't stolen) will identify you. And
lastly - it would be a complete idiot to come barging into an occupied van -
not knowing what was behind curtain no., 3  :-)  Minor precautions are a must
even if you are in the center of your home town. There are people out there
that are bad - and of course a very few are dumb enough to seek out their
victims in a rest area.

very few nut jobs limit my choices - The ultimate of this sort of reasoning is
to never leave home without an armed body guard. Life is for living and it is
in session - are you present?
