At home I'm aware of the high-crime areas and can avoid them. Elsewhere I'm not familiar with the area, I don't know the theives' MO, and I don't know what the areas or situations are that put myself or my equipment at greater risk. Thus greater caution abroad, wherever "home" or "abroad" happen to be.
