Several years ago, I was jumped by a guy who was "defending his GF" -- she almost ran me over 2x, and tried to blame me for it, then peeled out when I swung a leg off the bike. I couldn't do much, wrapped up in a too-snug rainsuit at the time, so I had to take his little fairy punches.

Thieves may be 'street clever', but they are basically stupid and lazy asses, we all agree, I think. If they go to rob you and you don't have enough to make it worth their effort (which means they have to do it again to someone else), they blame you for it. So they take the effort to beat on you because you have made them have to plan to do this all over again later. You have stopped their instant gratification.
