You could always carry a big hunting knife like Crocodile Dundee and confront them with "call that a Knife" while whipping it out. The knife that is.

Take my advice...Fill your pockets with gunk and carry all your valuables in a pouch around your waist under your clothing
Its not full proof
Always amuses me that we take all sorts of precautions while going overseas but when we're at home we don't...sheer stupidity...crooks are the same everywhere just looking for a sucker
cheers
