Hell yes, wearing expensive shit is trouble, in the wrong areas at the wrong times. When I worked in the Philly ghetto last summer, I removed my wedding ring, gold bracelet, nice watch, etc... I wanted to be as low-profile and blending in as possible. I even kept my car as crappy-looking as possible so that no one would be tempted to check it out (my mother always taught me to store all valuable things out of sight, e.g. not leaving a purse or camera on the passenger seat for people to see). It's common sense.
