Just give em the fake wallet with the counterfeit money.
It's dumb to steal jewelry because a picture of it can simply be reported, therefore it
can't be sold. So if you killed the victim and have their jewelry, you get life .

Isn't armed robbery attempted murder?

The junior minister for national security says they have evidence that much of the crime, much that resembles warfare and terrorism, is a result of gang activity. He also said that police intelligence shows that gangs are steadily penetrating and permeating the population of New Providence in particular. Can the minister say if they have intelligence of any police officer being associated with any gang or involved in any gang activity. Secondly the district attorney for New York said they were successful in bring crime, including murder, to its lowest level in 10 years by disbanding TWENTY FOUR gangs in the area. While most of the members of these gangs were between the ages of 17 and 24 the gang was almost always led by some notorious and dangerous criminal. Once this gang leader was taken off the streets and locked away for of fences like drug dealing, illegal weapons counterfeiting or extortion the gangs always fell apart. Can the minister say if gang leaders in this country are being tracked down in this fashion and taken off the streets in an effort to stem gang activity?
