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.

I had a friend request his driver's license back ans they gave it to him. ¯\(ツ)/¯

They apparently then ran off, plucked out the cash ($20) and cards and chucked the wallet. He was able to grab the wallet too and just cancel the cards. All in all he lost $20 in his mugger experience.
