@@loz5990 No one else's face is blurred. And I should hope they did share the original with police but hardly the point. Wouldn't you like to know what they look like if you were in the area? I mean it's ok to slap a sign on their back but protect their faces from everyone.

[@eponymousIme]

More people would pay attention to the sign and avoid the thieves if your sign called them a "pickpocket" instead of a "thief." "Thief" could apply to a lot of situations; but "pickpocket" has a specific meaning and will alert people in the immediate vicinity, thereby reducing the chances of the pickpocket's success.

@siphonlx no one sits in the cafe a whole day and looks at a phone on the table when they can hire one guy to dress like three other people in the hood, then “steal” your phone.
