Nope, not paranoid. I do a lot of the things you do.
I constantly check what's happening around and behind me (yes, I look behind me as I walk). If you are human or moving and are within 20 yards of me, you are on the radar. Unless, as is every once in a while the case, I am so tired I can barely think.

Everything in my pockets is kept the same, and in spots where it won't jingle.

As I read your post, I realized that I too park with the passenger side to the entrance. I don't check the tires, but I do check the backseat and under the rig.

On the rare occasions that I go to theators/auditoriums, I usually sit where I can see best, but I have noticed I get annoyed when someone sits between me and the aisle.

No SO to position.

I need to work on noticing the exits, alarms, that sort of thing.
