Travel Tips: How To Make A Mugger's Wallet


“The real World is a book, and those that do not
travel read only one page.”  -- St. Augustine

Make up a mugger’s wallet.  This is a sort of decoy that the mugger would take and protect your real wallet that contains your active credit cards, identification and money.

Things to include:

  • Some small denomination bills – real money or the mugger might expect a decoy.
  • An old expired identification card of some sort.
  • Expired credit card, insurance card, or non-active department store card. 
  • Use coupons, receipts and such as fillers so as to present a usable wallet.

The point is a decoy would be appealing to a mugger while leaving you with your real wallet and money so as not to derail your vacation plans.
