Have you ever been pickpocketed and not even knew it tell it was too late? Do you know anyone who is a skillful pickpocketer? I personally have never been pickpockted or know anyone who can do it professionally...if thats the right word. I havent experienced anything like it. Ive heard lots of stories from people traveling to parts of Europe, Mexico and South America about people getting robbed. Its interesting to because i always remember these stories when a group or several people, usually kids, run up and distract you while the others rob you. Ive been in places where i was very cautious about my surroundings when i would put my wallet and any change in my front pocket then walk around with my hand in my pocket when i was a crowded area. Thats it though.
They're pretty slick. There's a good documentary out there called Pickpocket King where Bob Arno (entertainer) goes looking for the old school real deals in Naples.
I cant afford to visit places with pick pockets up here theyll just stick a knife or gun in your face if they want your wallet no skill needed
Iv'e Told This Story On Here Before, But Hell, One More Time Can't Hurt.... During My Senior Years I Attended A Private School In Sydney, And Whenever We Went Into Town We Were Required To Wear School Uniform Which Was Akin To Holding Up A Placard Saying I Have Money In My Pocket Please Rob Me. Stupid Pickpockets Didn't Realise We Were Only Carrying Two Dollars At The Most Which Was Our Weekly Pocket Money. So GLEN Used To Wear Speedos As Underware, Tuck His Wallet In There, And Put One Of The School Hymn Books In His Back Pocket. Only Lost Two Or Three But I Just Had To Give Chase Just To See The Robbers Reaction.... One Actually Dropped A Book In A Bin As He Ran Past It...:2thumbsup:. Alas Tidy Robbers Are A Thing Of The Past Nowdays... Cheers Glen.
I was at the airport riding the short train ride to the main terminal, I was holding on to one of the vertical poles waiting for the doors to shut when in walked a lady maybe 30. She walks up next to me pushing her breast on to the back of my hand holding the pole. I didn't know what to do so I just kept it there. When the train took off she stepped back a little the moved right back with her boob right against my hand. I standing there thinking wtf when all of a sudden it occurs to me maybe she picked my pocket. A quick check with my right hand, nope my wallet is still there.
If you have a fat ass it might be harder to pickpocket you. But, you will not be told this important information by a Jenny Craig diet instructor.
A gangster highlighted on the Untouchables. While I cant stand the FBI,. I often research the characters.
