Sorry to hear of you being turned over - could happen anywhere in the world though, I know its basic but the usual advice which I stick to always when away - that is to carry a dummy / second wallet in an obvious place with a few current bank cash cards (from a second live account) with very little in the account and the wallet with a little daily cash in it - easy to just hand it over if you get in a jam like this - or if you get pickpocketed - keep your main cards/ cash etc hidden away its basic stuff but no one should get complacent - thankfully you came to no harm on this occasion.
