muggable
Target for thieves
Muggable describes someone or something that appears to be an easy target for robbery.
A person walking alone at night, distracted by their phone, looks muggable.
The word can also describe places: That poorly lit parking garage feels very muggable.
Less commonly, it means having a face worth photographing—suitable for a mug shot in the theatrical sense.
