Give me all your money?

In the case of a robbery, a robber ordered the customers to give him all the money they had. How would one propose such an order appropriately?


Would you say:
One of the robbers cried," This is a robbery. Take all of your wealthy things out."

Please advice and once again, many thanks for helping! T_T

"Wealthy" is an adjective applied only to persons.

Robbers would probably say:

"Hand over your valuables"
"Give me your money [and watches and rings, etc]"

The thing is, though, that thieves are unlikely to obey the rules of grammar or courtesy, so what they would say would be very crude and offensive. Probably more like:

"Gimme ya @#$%& money ya @#***%
