This is very true. There was a period I had to live in a tent on some un-used land that was accessed through a residential neighborhood and I managed to live there for several months without any problems or complaints. I came and went as I wished and whenever I saw anyone whether walking a dog or driving a car I smiled at them, waved, made direct eye contact, and said "hello" or "good morning" if we passed close enough for conversation. I tried to keep myself clean, but even on my poorly groomed days people just assumed I was some random neighbor taking a walk and moved on without suspicion. Most people don't want to talk to their neighbors so if you look friendly they will avoid you.
