Never experienced an "assaulto" (robbery) either. Maybe because I'm not flaunting an iPhone everywhere.
Orelhoes are notoriously ill-maintained here and becoming increasingly scarce. In a few more years you'll be hard pressed to maintain your habit.
At which time, or before, if you're so concerned about assaultos, then try springing out a Nokia. You're practically guaranteed to continue to get short shrift from would-be attackers.
