Mugging deterrent

Mugging

Why would you even let a mugger take your real wallet? That's where having a good plan and a decoy device comes into play. The premise behind this Decoy Wallet, is to let the muggers feel guilty, that is... if they have a conscience? The researchers suggest it has to do with an evolutionary instinct to preserve the innocent, so if it's not terribly embarrassing, keeping an envelop in your wallet and naming it for the orphans. Might get you in the good books of Mother Theresa, as well.
