The idea of carrying cash to hand over if you get mugged being a safety precaution is funny to me. I never really thought about it that way. I always thought of not carrying cash as a way to lessen the risk of getting mugged, or at least lessen the loss if you were to get mugged (I'm an American).
- crpatino 12y agoIn general, muggers are small fry criminals. You want to carry on you enough cash for them to be happy, call it a day and go to spend it on meth/booze - e.g. without hurting you - but not enough to give them funny ideas and attempt an amateur kidnap on you. I've been told the sweet spot is in the ballpark of $20 - $50 USD. But of course this has to be adjusted by location.
