Muggers don't need a display to capture the data.
In addition to RFID tags on all your possessions, I'm told that during the Bush administration, RFID tags were added to high denomination US currency. With a little bit of tech development, this would make mugging much more efficient. The muggie could be scanned much like at a supermarket check out and a total value displayed. Perhaps there could be a "pro" model that displays a top-10 list of the most valuable items the muggie was carrying. The mugger could them make a quick go/no-go decision and skip the low value targets. This would also thwart dishonesty on the part of the muggie who might otherwise deny possession of certain valuables or perhaps carry a second wallet.
