Make yourself look sketchy or like a criminal. Criminals tend not to mess with other criminals.

I've got some external shots of the place I'm talking about on my phone from when I went with my dad to a job site inspection near there. I'll have to upload them here I guess, I don't think they would be worthy of their own thread.

There's some great advice here. Definitely look like you belong or are doing nothing wrong. If you run or act suspicious that just opens up a whole other can of worms. I just play it cool, even when/if security rolls up. A lot of people have more important things to do than deal with who is at some vacant property nearby. It's amazing what you can get away with by just being confident even if you're quaking in your boots.

Have any of you ever been robbed while on an explore?
