Never happened to me. Times that I've feared it happening, but it's never happened.
Had a dude come up to me whilst waiting for the college bus, he had a blood on his knuckles. The guy basically told me he had mental health issues, and asked me about the present I was holding, which was a Lego Tractor for the girlfriend on Valentine's Day. He made some comments about it and how it was very nice. Nervous the entire time, but my bus came eventually, I got on and the dude got close to the windows and freaked a couple people out.
Couple other situations in which I've been around this local, mentally ill looking, drunk. He's asked for alcohol and a bit of money, but he lives in the town and he's not been arrested as of yet so I assume he's harmless. Gave him my can of Relentless and left.
To say I live less than five minutes from a gypsy camp, and my town has a lot of chavs, I've never had anything violent happen to me, just those select fears of those that have mindsets that I don't understand. When I walk to the town centre, which takes around fifteen minutes, I'm always listening to stuff on my phone and texting whilst walking, which you would think would make me a target. I don't leave the house much so maybe lack of time outside is the reason why.
No experience, as I've said, but I think I'd just explain to a mugger that, they can't get into my phone and that there's no point in going to jail for a phone that you don't know the password for. Don't really carry much money, ever. Withdraw money when I need it, for what I need.
