If some random stranger asks me to watch their stuff, I typically agree to do so to avoid conflict. However, if somebody were to threaten me with bodily harm for said things, I would give the thief the person's things to avoid personal injury because I don't care enough about anybody aside from maybe 5-6 people at the most to put my well being or life at risk for them.

I know I'm harsh but that is how I've survived thus far.
