Many years ago I used to always take taxis home from the pub and sometimes I would explain to the taxi-driver (maybe some times not) that while I didn't have any cash on me, I had some at home and this was generally accepted.
But one time, when the driver saw I lived in a gated community he asked for my watch as security - obviously worth way more than the fare. This I was very loathe to do so I offered either one or both my shoes (cannot remember exactly; it was late at night and I did have a few drinks) but the idea was that they were valuable to me but not to him.
He actually chose not to accept my offer but decided to wait/ trust me instead.
