I remember one time when I lived in Florida I was walking to the corner store at night and I was stopped by the police. After they searched me and ran a check they gave me my belongings back and then one of them pulled me to the side and told me I shouldn't be walking around at night in this neighborhood with 'my complexion' since 'these people will take your iPod.' True story.
I can't say his advice was really all that ill-founded but it was a little surprising how non subtle he was about it.
