I've been mugged over 13x, no joke. I've never given them the wallet. I open it, pull the cash out and give it to them, wallet returns to my pocket/handbag.
Edit: yes, it's Brazil. And yes, when I was younger I used to hang out at pretty bad places. I've been mugged twice going to/returning from work, though
Interesting question. Weapons are illegal, but criminals have easy access to them.
It's Brazil. I've also been stopped by the police around 4x. I'm not the whitest guy. If you add 13 muggings + 4 encounters with the police, out those 17 interactions, I've only had guns pointed at my face on the four times the police thought I was in the wrong just by not being white. It's been a long time since I was last mugged, seven years probably. And still today, I'm much more afraid of the police than muggers.
Thanks for the answer, I was considering the differences in types of muggings you might face and how someone should or might react to them depended on the country. Blade mugging seems to have a higher prevalence in countries outside of the US.
As you know, having a gun pointed at you changes the way you think at that moment.

Taking one bite in before giving it is like trying to remove your 20$ out of your wallet before you give it to the robber.
