In residential areas, snatching occurs less often in roads where the elderly feel insecure due to low traffic. On the contrary, snatching occurs much more often in roads where they feel secure due to high traffic. These roads are wide and far from each other and its sidewalks are in good condition. Furthermore, on these roads there are few empty lots such as car parking areas and park and about half of the buildings are shops. When the Fixation-distance is long, buildings have less than 3 floors and there are not advertising displays on the roads, caution against snatches is needed because on such roads snatching often occurs in spite of the elderly feeling secure.
