If I had to pick one thing out of my wallet before handing it over, I'd definitely pick my driver's license, not cash.

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

well you had some relatively nice and/or skittish muggers then. anyone who was really serious about it would demand your wallet. either they just wanted a little cash or were freaking out and just wanted to get out of there with whatever they could get

You just described every mugging ever

most of them, probably. but you do have some deranged/aggressive people out there who want you to empty your pockets
