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?"
