that's the question.

So I thought up a scenario when I am older and carry a purse (I never do now) and have it stuffed with random trinkets (bottle cap, pennies found on the ground, rocks, I dunno).

Then, a guy tries to rob me and I act/feel scared so I gasp. He pulls out a gun and tells me to give him my purse, so I hastily give it to him, as well as an (empty or scrap paper-stuffed) wallet. 

With that, I'd rush away and hide in a cafe or restaurant, or... something. 

I'd think: Phew, I finally got rid of that purse! I was trying to get rid of it for forever!

Of course, I'd have to burn my hoodie and my jeggings so that the guy can't recognize me, even though my hood covered my face, but still.
