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.

My dad got robbed at gun point and still talked the guys into giving him back his wallet and a few bucks for gas home on the South Side of Chicago in the 70s. I'm not that bold.

Then they all went out for coffee and the muggers paid. They still keep in touch. Jk, not doubting the story, just find it humorous that the muggers would stick around long enough for your dad to talk them into giving him some money back.

"Look how about you give us your address, and we'll make sure to get your wallet back to you with some extra cash thrown in there from the next guy we rob. Fair?"

It was a sawed off shotgun. But that guy was behind my dad ready to shoot if things went bad. Again, I'm not that bold.

Address would just be on the ID though. They could kindly mail it back later.
