Most armed robbers are reluctant to shoot. There can be many reasons for this, including additional scrutiny from the authorities, drawing attention to the crime in progress, even a reluctance to inflict harm. Often, this will give the victim an opportunity to feign compliance in order to gain an advantage.
…The owner of the engineering firm that Fabian works for said that robbery is an occupational hazard for surveyors.
"There is actually a law enforcement database of all of the robberies that are going on that are affecting surveyors and there has been hundreds of instruments and equipment stolen," he said.
Surveying was a hazardous profession in George Washington's era as well, though mostly on the frontier. High crime urban areas have become the "modern frontier" in our time.
