Could be a couple of methods, but one thing that's brought up in this is that he's also a magician. Sleight of hand is a relevant skill for both. Things like this are something you can get into just for the technical skill and ability to pull it off. Like lock picking. It's actually a pretty irrelevant skill for most thefts. It's simpler, faster, and easier to just use a crowbar or other method to target the weak points and force your way in. No criminal is going to waste their time. But there's a rather large community of people picking locks for fun and sport.

I was homeless in a college town for a period of time in the early 2000’s. His point about people being intoxicated is absolutely spot on. I wouldn’t even have to steal anything during spring/summer as people would get so drunk they’d drop/leave/forget items of value constantly. I once found a handful of wallets and almost a dozen purses/pocketbooks in one evening (well, early morning). Most people lack the awareness to recognize how they make themselves vulnerable. It’s not uncommon to see people who don’t look up from their phones for entire minutes in public while having headphones in, toting unsecured bags, etc. It’s good to see that he is educating people about being more aware of what’s happening around them and what to look for. I don’t advocate crime and I don’t make excuses for my past actions. I fucked up, it was my fault and I’ve worked hard for decades to rebalance the scales.

My dad, who worked his whole life in New York, taught me to keep my wallet in my front pocket. So one day when I was with my brother crossing the street in a very busy Times Square, I felt something in my rear pocket, and it was a pickpocket looking in the wrong place for my wallet. I turned and the guy just said 'Keep on walking', and that's what I did. I never saw the guy's face as he disappeared among the crowds. So there are ways of making it more difficult to be robbed. The guy tried and failed, and that was enough to deter him from trying again.

My favorite pickpocket story, was from a well known citys new year block party. I had on so many layers, and ended up putting my wallet in an inside winter vest pocket 3 layers down, behind 3 zippers We were walking through a massive crowd, and I had my hands in my pocket, I felt a hand touch mine. Everyone was moving, trying to get closer to the stage, or to go into a bar for a drink, and no one even looked at me. I had no idea who it was, and if my wallet was in that pocket, it would have been gone. After that, I try to keep my wallet under at least one extra layer in crowded places. Like a wrap skirt over pants with the wallet away from the opening. It's awkward to get to, but it's going to at least be more trouble than everyone around me, and a less appealing target

Getting my phone pickpocketed was like being part of an incredible magic trick (as much as it sucked to lose my phone). They got it right out of my hand and I didn't feel a thing. Someone shot water behind my right ear, maybe from a water bottle and by the time I had looked around and determined whether someone had spit on me or what I went to text a friend to tell them how weird it was what had happened and realized I didn't have my phone.

To teach people how easily stolen their bank informations really are is a benediction for banks. Because at least here, if you get robbed/stolen ID, the bank compensates the loss as long as you have a police deposition of the theft, regardless if they have identified the robber or not at that point. So yeah. The less it happens, the better for them. Makes total sense, actually.

He mumbled something acting like he was very bad at English and has terrible accent. He also placed the map on the table pointing at some random places. We couldn’t understand him so he just went away. I was about 5 minutes later when we realized that my aunt’s phone was gone. He stole it when the map was covered on top of it.

I glimpsed the one slip something out of it's packaging from a table and hand it off across the table to his buddy who pocketed it while looking at another display without ever even turning around. It took me way too long to realize I had seen a theft to do anything. At the same time, another person in our party was in a different row. He had his hands in his motor bike jacket, but also slid into his pants pocket (you wouldn't realize it from looking at him, you'd think his hands were in his jacket but the vents go all the way through for air flow). He felt the guy reach into his pocket with his two fingers. He gripped the pickpockets fingers hard and dug into em with his thumb nail before the guy managed to get free. The pickpocket kept his cool and continued through the crowd. Because of it, my friend wasn't able to 100% say who had reached into his pocket by the time he turned around. It was astonishing how smooth and cool they were while working. I can't imagine how much merch and cash they walked away with that day (people bring 100's/1000's of dollars in cash to gun shows).

I’ve heard that street performers magic was actually designed for pickpockets to hone their craft without attracting negative attention in public.

@johnnhoj6749
@johnnhoj6749 2 роки тому
Originally that was true, but for a street performer to be involved in stealing now seems a much riskier idea. By definition, they have a lot of eyes on them from different angles, apart from CCTV there are a lot of people recording every move on their phones, (which are also going to pick up others in the crowd) they are also easily spotted again another day by anyone who suspects them of being involved in stealing... I would have thought a pickpocket would be far better off being faceless in any random crowd and not attracting attention. The chances of them being recognised again is then pretty much zero and it's less likely that a victim would have any idea where they were robbed.

I witnessed an experienced pickpocketing team in action. It occurred in Manhattan in the 1970s on a city bus maybe on 5th Ave. The decoy was an elderly woman who was first in line to get off at the rear door. Just as the bus came to a halt at the bus stop, the decoy dropped some coins on the floor. This gave her an excuse to suddenly halt which besides creating a distraction caused the 4 or 5 people in line behind her to contact each other. After the lady picked up her coins, the line of passengers exited the bus. When one of the passengers was walking away, he exclaimed "my wallet has been stolen!" All this occurred right in front of me but I wasn't aware there was a crime in progress.

Shopping carts are common with idiotic women leaving bags in carts while browsing. Another is crowded buses. Once a Japanese man in suit was standing holding on to the handle, a black man quickly put his hand in man's suit pocket and handed wallet to another black guy behind him. Another case, two young teens ready to get off bus quickly grabbed at woman's necklace but luckily couldn't break it as they fled. Sometimes you just can't blame the Arabs for chopping off hands.

I just hope bad luck and carma hit that thief like a bombshell. If that person got hit by a bus the world would be a better place for it. Don't blame the Arabs one bit.

The same happened to me while boarding a train in Paris, Nigerian entered before me and seemingly dropped something on the floor, while keeping me up at the door when the siren started going off (making me panic), while all this was going down, his accomplice rambled through my pockets. They only got some cheap cigars. I was on my way out of the country, touring Europe. I know he's Nigerian as I'm from South Africa and there are a lot of them here.

I have read an expert article on pickpocketing in the textbook which I use for giving English lessons. Actually, by checking if your possessions are OK, you show the pickpocket where they are situated: touch your pocket and the thief will know the thing is in that exact pocket.

BTW, to thwart a pickpocket keep your valuables in a pocket secured with a long strip of velcro. Velcro makes a loud ripping noise when it is pulled apart which should immediately alert you that you're being robbed. You can thank me later!

@@TheBlueArcher Gonna agree with you here mate, chain that's noisier /heavier and or secured properly (not with a simple clasp) vs something with velcro because if the item that's velcro'd is small enough like a wallet, they're just gonna steal the whole thing instead.
