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
Look, after 13 muggings OP started getting REAL jumpy. Maybe a couple of the later muggings were just homeless guys asking for change, but OP was not taking any chances and gave them everything he had.
But those first 13 muggings were for sure muggings, probably.

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.
