Well, that's because you are not thinking criminal enough :) The modus operandis of commercial kidnappers is to always blindfold the victim in transit to and/or from the hideout, and after a ransom has been collected. Then of course the victim enjoys very limited freedom to go outdoors while in captivity. Depending on the gang's methods, the hold house could be in the middle of nowhere, or if they are sophisticated enough to buy off the police, in the middle of a busy town. The key to not getting unravelled is to use multiple hold houses and to routinely transport the victim to a different location by bundling him/her inside the trunk of a vehichle at night.
