The robbery example brought back a memory from college that's always felt like a bonus question in a game theory exam. My rather drunk friend was walking home at night in Berkeley and was held up at gunpoint. He (stupidly) decided it was an empty threat and started to walk away on principle. His robber beat him up with the gun handle - very painfully but not seriously - and then discovered his wallet was empty to begin with and ran away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
