Do NOT walk by yourself, at night, in the rain, through a strange neighborhood with a history of residential crime, while wearing a hooded cover and peering at homes.
DO be aware that such a neighborhood may have a sanctioned watch program in effect, and that a watchperson may be on duty who might have occasion to ask of your whereabouts, as described in his neighbor-given directives.
If so confronted, remove your hooded cover and explain your presence by stating your name and purpose of ingress and egress. Engage in light banter (i.e. "How 'bout them Seminoles").
As an alternative... do NOT sneak up on said watchman and cold-cock his ass, take him to the ground, and proceed to pummel his skull into the pavement.
If the opportunity exists, present the watchman with an offer to share your Skittles and Tea drink.
