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.

I noticed a pickpocket unzipping my hip bag on a tram, he was off and gone before I could process it but at least he didn't get anything... shocking how casual it was.

The huge problem with the Birds of Prey scene is that she's not covering *ANY* sightlines. When she yoinks out of the purse, there's people just down the street watching her. When she takes the bracelet, the lady's husband is _facing that hand._ It's completely absurd.

I caught a man reaching into my bag in Vegas one time. He wasn't super obvious but I was paying more attention than your average drunk tourist I guess. He gave me a nod like he was giving me props, grinned, and kept walking, and I was too surprised by the whole encounter to say or do anything until he was well gone.

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.

I'd like to see him look at Awkwafina's scenes in Ocean's Eight - both the lifting and the handoffs - because I can't help but wonder his reaction to the part where Helena Bonham Carter recieves the bracelet. I thought it was a little obvious because she lowered hand hand so slowly but now I wonder if it was a smart choice since rapid movements are more noticeable.

My man put a rock on guy's tongue, waited a couple breaths, and snatched it back out. Dude would have never known if everyone hadn't erupted with laughter when he didn't react at all to either the placement or removal.

I’m not sure why, but when I was little (like below 10) I was obsessed with pickpocketing my dad. I never kept anything, just liked knowing I could do it. After a while, it lost its humor for my dad and he started carrying it in his front pocket. Years later he accredited me as the reason he’s never been pickpocketed. So protip, if you carry a wallet, put it in your front pocket.

I only glimpsed the two briefly and we never saw the other's face. It was just too busy/crowded. 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. They would sometimes have their colleagues pick the crowd, but some of the more brazen ones would lure the target in with the trick and use the trick itself as the misdirection

@johnnhoj6749

2 жыл бұрын

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.
