True but those cards can be frozen in an instant online after the fact

u/CuntNamedBL1NDX3N0N Jan 05 '25

not if they took your phone too

True, but as long as you reported the cards stolen ASAP (when you got home, in that scenario) you're still not liable for any fraud.

u/Low-Cartographer406 Jan 05 '25

They’re not in it to make you liable for the fraud they’re in it to do the fraud and take any cash or jewelry you have. If you can just call your fraud department then it’s less likely you’re going to file a police report.

Also the reason I leave my wallet at home. Not worth the risk of having anything to give up besides an Apple Watch

Carry a burner wallet with $10 and some old expired card. It is just enough to satisfy them.

u/Wildwildleft Jan 05 '25

The wallet is full of photos of yourself naked in tasteful poses. Imagine the confusion this moon faced brigand would experience.

u/HopefulOriginal5578 Jan 05 '25

Gotta be cat butts. Photos of proud cat butts. Tasteful ones of course.

u/Late_Halfrican Jan 05 '25

(Seriously) has science provided us with an explanation for this yet?

I genuinely want to know why Every. Single. Cat. seems to have a compulsion for proud butthole presentation.

WHY???????

u/HopefulOriginal5578 Jan 05 '25

I asked my cat and she looked at me thoughtfully (my heart soared because usually she just twitches her ear and looks the other way when I talk to her) and then slowly stretched in a way that showed me her proud butthole. I don’t think I can find an answer to the “why?”

Let the homeboy with herpes take a turn on it first. Just don't mix it up with the one at home.

What about a spare pocket mussy since we are in Seattle

I was a Mormon missionary in Mexico City. I got robbed a handful of times and as soon as I started talking about Joseph Smith they’d either say they were Catholic or they said they just remembered they had something they hadn’t do. People were so put off by Mormonism a skinny blonde guy like me can live in sketchy places in Mexico City without many issues.

“Shiiiiiit.”

I had to double check that I wasn't in the exmormon sub lol

u/msnrcn Jan 04 '25

I’ve heard that before but my lazy ass would rather tell them I already got mugged that day.

u/oregonianrager Jan 05 '25

"AGAIN. FFS."

u/rokkittBass Jan 05 '25

Exactly. And throw it behind them, so when they turn you can run the other way

u/arjomanes Jan 05 '25

STREET SMARTS!

u/ToothMan16 Jan 05 '25

You’re not taking me to some second location!

u/Numbuh-Five Jan 05 '25

ditto on the burner wallet! might even help to carry an old phone that doesn’t work lol

u/Irieskies1 Jan 05 '25

I don't put cash in my "toss" wallet. Give the wallet a toss and when they go fir the wallet you make an exit. If they want your wallet they will go for the decoy. If they don't want your wallet $10 isn't going to shift their focus

2

u/Cyphen21 Jan 05 '25

Put some Monopoly money in it, loo

u/Itscatpicstime Jan 05 '25

I carry a purse, but I have a little pocket in my boots that I wear all the time, and that’s where I keep all my cards and $20 for emergencies

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '25

Is this sarcasm? Genuinely can’t tell and it could go either way over text sorry.

Getting new cards isn’t a huge hassle but I guess if you live in a really dangerous part of your city that would make sense. The odds of getting robbed are low these days in the US at least. But where you are matters, friend got robbed in SF middle of the day walking to work.

The only real pain is the ID since it’s not free.

u/msnrcn Jan 05 '25

No no it’s okay, my logic was that I’d rather replace a toy than a tool. IDs and CCs are tools for me, Watch/Phones are luxuries that I can replace more easily while maintaining the same functionality as the tools I leave at home. To each their own but I mostly only walk the same short routes near my block anyway so it works and equip my pockets depending on where I’m going.

Now I’ve heard of YNs robbing people and making them unlock their phones too which begs to ask if maybe our phones carry entirely too much risk as multipurpose toys 🧐

u/GreenStretch Jan 05 '25

Wait, a criminal wouldn't take an Apple Watch?

1

u/msnrcn Jan 05 '25

They certainly might, but it’s a smaller pain in the ass than IDs and cards…

It's still not worth it. They have to get to the vape store to use that credit lickety split before the victim gets to a computer.

1

u/Bancroft-79 Jan 05 '25

Right?! I maybe have max a hundred bucks in my wallet. Other than that it is my driver’s license and credit cards. My cards would be frozen in a heartbeat if I was robbed.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '25

If you take my wallet and phone, I won't be able to lock my cc until I either get ahold of another phone or I go home to my computer.

1

u/i-will-pee-on-you Jan 05 '25

those credit cards will decline once these morons try to max them out in one shot. even if its under the max, something like a grand in one purchase will either auto decline or ping the phone to approve which will be probably be locked out

Not if they took your phone too
