Well, since I have time to think about here in this blog comment, I guess I'd try to engage him in conversation.

Since he asked me a question, maybe I could ask him one. My particular phone is old. He wouldn't get much for it. I could cancel the plan over the Internet that night. What would he want with an old cell phone? My wallet, on the other hand, contains sentimental things that wouldn't be worth anything to him, such as family pictures. What would he want with those anyway?

At this point I'd say, "By the way, what's your name?" Then I'd start referring to him by name and introduce myself. After all, we're real people.

I'd take back any premature judgments I made or labels I thought of, like "wacko" or "evil." Jesus reminded people to "love your neighbor as yourself." What good is it if we only love those who already love us? He may be in my life, and my face, for a reason.

Then again, faced with the situation and no time to think, I might give him my wallet and keep the phone!

Then, I'd just hand him the phone and slowly back away...

The wallet I suppose. Sure it'd be a pain to have to getmy ID, driver's license etc...replaced. But I hardly ever have any cash anyway and if I gave him my phone...well, that'd mean I'd lose all those really important phonenumbers that I haven't written down, because I'm so lazy I would have shit in my pants untill my teens if it had been socially acceptable.
Now if I HAD written them down anywhere (which I am so planning to do, because you just never know)then that's a whole different story alltoghether now isn't it?

I think I'll give him my wallet and then try to kick his nuts while running as fast as possible and calling the police or somebody to help me out he he he...

I would swap my wallet (it's always empty, don't know why I bother carrying around) and my phone, it's a cheapo one, for his knife, then rob them back off him! Ta Dah!

If I'm a celebrity, I would give him the wallet. If I'm a super rich guy, I would give him the phone.
