You love to carry cash? So do muggers. After living in SF for over a year I would never carry cash again. Period.

Do you leave your phone at home as well?
So yoy shouldn't minimize a problem just because you can't completely nullify it?
Your phone likely has a value of $600. Your cash at any time might range between $0 and $200 (or more if you're me). Considering that losing your cash has no inconvenience or replacement overhead, I don't really mind losing it in the rare event that I'm mugged. I would mind losing my phone or laptop, which I pretty much carry all over. The way I see it, cash is pretty incidental to muggings.
