    Someone was discussing this jokingly on the radio today and I thought it might make for an interesting topic. I guess we'll see.


    So, on the average day, how much would a mugger get from you?


    (assume you don't see him coming and he knocks you out...so there's no hero scenarios here, Chuck Norris)


    For me...

    - a few dollars in cash at best
    - credit card with fairly large limit
    - 2 credit cards that haven't been activated (must be done from home phone #)
    - Shell gas card
    - some coupons and a partially punched Smoothie King card
    - Blackberry Curve
    - the key to a crappy Honda Civic with 140k miles on it

    Overall, I think I'd be a pretty bad target. I don't wear jewelry or a watch, or carry much cash, and I would be able to cancel the credit card and Shell card pretty fast (I'd have to find a phone first lol) and the coupons are obviously not much. The Blackberry is a decent get, but would require some work on their end to get it activated and all that (I'm not a phone expert so I'm not sure). The car key is worthless because I don't have remote keyless entry and the key isn't marked. In other words, they wouldn't be able to locate my car anyway. I'd actually PREFER to have the car stolen though :(

    They'd basically make off with a disabled (eventually) Blackberry, and a credit and gas card that they could maybe use before I report them stolen. Not great by thief's standards, I'm guessing.

    A gun to your head and an ATM card can result in you losing a lot of money....probably up to your daily withdrawal limit

    I'm sure there are some thieves that would do it just for the turkey leg and condoms (for hiding drugs in their ass).

    I'll be fine, assuming I can call and cancel the cards in reasonable time.

    I almost never carry cash, but right now you would get:

    $5
    5 Credit Cards w/ high limits
    1 Kay card
    2 Check Cards(Few Thousand in each)
    $350+ in Lowes giftcards
    $10 Best Buy GC
    EnV2
    BlockBuster Card
    AAA Card
    Library Card(You just never know what people will do)

    Not a bad mugging if I do say so, a great one if you actually get away with the vehicles.

    Well he has had about 20 careers over a 30 year timeline so obviously he works about 125 hours a week.

    Mucho income and no time to spend it.

    I think I lose so far on total losses.

    Mine is over 1000 not counting the phone cause I don't know what that is worth.

    depends if it is during worktime or not. my work purse is 2-3x bigger than my w/e purse. non work times would consist of:

    1 cc with high (over 10K) limit
    TDL
    $20-60 cash
    plain samsung phone
    chapstick

    really not much....

    work days would be different with more cc, medical insurance card, ATM cards, coach sunglasses...but the zinger would be the wedding ring but i'm sure that goes for all married ladies.

    cash wise. anywhere from $200-0...just depends on their timing. Today they would get $7

    credit cards: 3 - mid range limits

    AAA card.

    Starbucks gift card w/ $5 left on it

    my business cards

    as of today, an older LG phone (although i'm expecting an Fuze any time)

    no jewelry

    Keys to 2005 Mazda 3 w/ 44K

    I wouldn't be that great of a muggee. Actually, the best thing would probably be my alligator skinned wallet. At least, that's what i'd be most bummed about.

    Keys to my Ford Focus, mailbox and house.
    My DL with the address to my house where they could use my keys at. :mad:
    Maybe $20 in cash and an ATM card
    3 Credit Cards
    a SeaWorld Season Pass
    $2 coupon off of pull-ups
    Wedding rings, diamond heart necklace, maybe my watch.


    I'd be pretty mad.
