I've never been robbed and carry my passport securely. I have needed my passport to go into a casino, exchange money, rent a car, go through roadside police check points, enter a national park, pass through through a military roadblock and for VAT exemptions to name a few. In the unlikely event I am robbed there is a photo copy of my passport information page in my hotel safe and jpgs of the passport in my phone and on my cloud storage.
While I've never been robbed I have had a hotel room burgled including the safe which judging by the aftermath didn't seem that hard to open.
