Way back when I wore a collar, I was mugged by a group of young men.
I was actually surprised that anyone would dare to mug a priest (or a 'half priest on his way - its hard to tell the two apart by what is worn ) - I was wearing the jacket and collar, even carrying a bible.... Strange thing, not only did they take my wallet and my watch, they also took the bible.
Did I fight back? No, three of them, one of me and one of them had a knife.
Mugging/robbery is a desperate man's trade. If they are desperate enough to steal something off your body, they may actually be desperate enough to steal your life.
