I never carry cash or credit cards because Old Sid, pub regular, once said. 'A poor man laughs in the face of a thief.' The mugger only went and nicked my Ferrari.

They don't possess wisdom, they earn it by paying out a little bit of life each day. Some days they have to pay out wads of life in exchange for what will later be wisdom or experience.
We should be grateful for every bit they choose to give us, even the ones we don't want to hear. It might let us save some of our own life so that we can spend it acquiring further wisdom elsewhere.
On a more practical front, I recommend you check out some of the options suggested here:

I wanted to also give you a page on Electronic Tracking devices one can install in cars, including satellite operated anti-hijacking equipment, but my machine is now crashing and I'll have to get back to you...

remember this, having knowlege is not wisdom, however good knowledge being put to good use is wisdom. So therefore the aged possess knowledge and those of whom put it to good use are wise.

Actually, its supposed to be a good idea to carry a $10 or20 in case you are accosted. That way you have something to give them, but not enough to really cramp your style.

Sid's got a point, but then he probably hasn't got a car.
