- Two men were mugged; neither harmed
- Mugger number 1 took the man’s wallet and all £85 cash
- Mugger number 2 took the man’s wallet, cash, watch and Princeton class ring
- Mugger 1’s story ends here
- Two days later, mugger 2 asks the man he mugged if he’d like his watch and ring back
- Both had sentimental value, so he said yes
- The mugger offered to sell them back to him for £500, but the man only had £90
- The mugger accepted the £90, but instead of returning the watch and ring, he gave the man a receipt from a pawnshop
- The man went to the pawnshop and paid £80 to reclaim his watch and ring
- Mugger 1 made £85 cash
- Mugger 2 made £70 on the mugging, £60 by pawning the watch and ring, and £90 by selling the pawn ticket - total income: £220
- By uncovering hidden assets and opportunities, mugger 2 produced more than double the result than mugger 1 from the same situation
