You're right. People do not reply honestly when asked verbally. <<I went to Brazil and only got robbed twice What? You flaunted your wealth. Not street smart this one. and didn't get shot at all.>> Because you know how to negotiate. The thief has a high self preservation instinct. One should not put him in danger else he reacts. Peter Blake pulled a shoot gun shoot at the thieves and then the weapon jammed. Had he had an Uzi. Test fired it at sea, had a few magazines and once the guys were in, spray the son of bitches with sub-machine guin fire, throw the corpses overboard he would be alive today. The good thing about being mugged here is that you can negotiate with the robbers. Like: Victim: "Take the money and the watch, but please, leave the necklace, it is a present from my grand ma. Has no big value only sentimental value." Robber: "Ok, keep it. Walk on and don't look back or I shot you!"
