I don't carry any cash in my wallet, but the amount stolen is irrelevant. The act of assaulting someone and robbing them should be punished the same regardless of the amount stolen.
Exactly. They had no idea how much was in their wallets. Regardless any robbery can easily escalate into a situation causing serious injury or death under certain circumstances.
