I was a tourist in Singapore once and was accused by a local of stealing her phone. She thought it was me because I was the only one who got off the bus when she noticed that something was awry. Well, she ran after me to the bus station and let's just say that the pickpocket got away with a phone that day. Poor girl.

[@SkilinerGaming]

When I was in College, at a Gas Station in line someone tried to pickpocket me. They were rather artless, and I felt two fingers reach into my back pocket. I reached back, grabbed my wallet firmly, and turned to give the guy a piece of my mind and comment about how crap he was at pickpocketing. When I turned around though, the dude standing there looking at me was roughly 6'7", and easily over 350 pounds. Basically imagine a slightly shorter version of The Big Show, standing there. I knew I had to say something, but I definitely did not want to start a fight with a guy who looked like he could knock me out cold with his pinky finger, so I kinda panicked, pointed in his face, and said "NO!". It was the only time in my life where someone actually tried to pickpocket me, and to this day I'm thrilled that he had no reaction to my loud proclamation of "NO!".

People who carry their phones and wallets in their back pocket stress me out so much. Like, I wouldnt have to be subtle, your phone is literally hanging half out, I could grab it and run.

[@ManicallyMetal]

[@j4ff4c3ks1]

Personally i just wonder how anyone bears sitting down with anything in their back pockets, sometimes the flaps or buttons on them already poke at my ass annoyingly, pickpocket vulnerability is just a secondary concern

[@markmcculfor6113]

It's usually teenage girls, it drives me crazy

[@DanteYewToob]

One cool trick I used to use in Jamaica... Just reach down your pants and give your pocket a single twist if you can. It works great with larger pockets and literally seals and makes it impossible to reach in or get anything out without fixing the pocket first. When you want your stuff, just adjust your body a bit, reach into your pocket and untwist it from the inside of the pocket instead of going down your pants again. It's a pretty awesome and impromptu trick that works especially well for men, or other clothing with larger pockets, and doesn't cost anything or require any setup or anything like that. You can very quickly and easily seal your valuables before entering a crowded area like a subway or busy street and undo it just as fast. You can pretend like your tucking in a shirt and do the twist, or try to twist from inside the pocket... It really does work great if your pants are tight enough to keep the pocket twisted, but not so tight that it's impossible to undo. Hope this helps someone. It's a neat trick and if it can stop someone having their stuff stolen, that would be awesome.

[@williamturner6192]

Cool.

[@pedrovisgueira]

[@johnbeauvais3159]

8:06 I remember reading about a guy who snuck into an event by saying loudly "I think someone stole my ticket" so everyone would check their pockets and purses to ensure they have theirs. Instantly you know the locations of tickets of 5-6 people so you can lift one and sneak in.

[@samuelgarcia3989]

John Beauvais thats really cool

[@carlangelo653]

Works both ways actually. Me and my friends saw what we suspected to be a pickpocket, and just before he was about to reach in to get it, on of my friends screamed "Ah shit! I think I dropped my wallet!" the victim quickly checked his wallet and pushed it deeper into his pocket. And the attention psyched out the thief.

[@snowjix]

[@JackSilver1410]

Reminds me so much of when I used to play Rust. A friend and I would pick a base and head there close to sundown with... not the best gear, but good enough that someone would say "I'd have that." We'd engage and skirmish a little with the occupants of the base we wanted and as night fell we'd run off into the dark. The trick came with the third participant, who was staying low and out of the way, watching the base. Light would shine through walls in Rust Legacy, so while the people in the base prepared to repel a raid, they would run around with torches and flashlights, moving all their stuff to a single "secure" location. The lookout would mark that location and when the target group logged out, we'd come back and c-4 our way right to their treasure room that they so kindly showed us.

[@zerovking7629]

I got robbed by group before in rust when I was very new to the game (2 hours) and when I logged off after building my first base and putting some random stuff in the singular chest I had I came back only to find out my whole base got destroyed and the only thing left was my items on the ground with some taken so after that I just went back to playing tower defenses

[@JackSilver1410]

@@zerovking7629 It was a rough game. I was fortunate enough to be found and taken in by a group and actually taught the game. It was a hell of a roller coaster. Few things matched the high of successfully defending or raiding a player's base, and nothing was more soul crushing than logging in to find all your stuff gone. Still, I had a great time and some fond memories.

My friend once picked my pocket and swapped my phone for his as a joke because we had watched a pick pocketing video a few days earlier and had started a weeklong theft challenge to see who's better at it. Anyways once I realized I moved in to swipe it back and replaced it with a cardboard calling card thus putting me in possession of both phones before tossing his back to him. I think the only reason why it worked is because we were equally unskilled at it so neither of us was able to pick up on the now obvious in hindsight, giveaways to each grab.

The having a partner to hand off to thing is so brilliant. This is sort of how we used to sell LSD at Grateful Dead shows using 3 different partners. The person asking strangers quietly if they want LSD would NEVER carry the LSD just in case. If someone wanted the LSD we would take them and offer them to share a joint and once they smoked with us or we talked to them a bit and were sure that they were not police, only then would we continue. Once they told us how much they wanted one of us would get up go over to the holder of the quantity and get only what the customer wanted and then return to the circle. Then we would give the people their acid. Or if there only were 2 of us , one of us would have some other friend holding the doses come up to act like they were just sitting at the circle next to the buyer. We had hand signals that specified the number of hits or sheets. The right hand meant single doses. The left hand was full sheets. So 3 fingers on the left hand meant 3 full sheets. Rarely did anyone need a strange amount like 15 hits, but if that happened we would just really quickly say “18” . It was brilliant and worked every time.

"Allegedly"

[@goatness]

Early on in this video I thought it would be clever to have a mousetrap in my back pocket that's disguised to look like a protruding wallet, but then James brought up stabbing.

[@cmck362]

Deep front pockets and put a balled up plastic bag on top in your pocket. It should be hard for them to pick without talking to you and the plastic bag will hopefully make noise and confuse them while they're digging. The bag should also fall out if they pull something out that is deeper than it. That's the best I can come up with to stop the technique used here.

[@regularusername5516]

Personally, I keep my phone in my front chest pocket and my wallet in my front jeans pocket, and I keep my hand gripped on to my wallet

A few years ago, during a visit to a nearby town, it was very busy, there were loads of people. I felt something move in my coat pocket, figured my phone was vibrating, reached into my pocket and got the fright of my life. Someone else's hand was in my pocket, I quickly grabbed my phone and turned around. I guess they got scared because I was now aware someone was trying to steal my phone. Lesson learned, now I always pay attention to everything in my pockets, at all times. And keep my distance from everyone :D

The one and only time I pickpocketed was to my friend at work and it was HILARIOUS 😂 I had made him a custom knife lanyard and he was notorious for putting his OPEN knife in his back pocket after cutting a box open. So just to see if I could I pulled his knife out by the lanyard and it took the man almost 40 minutes to realize his knife was missing, and then after a frantic search I couldn't help but laugh and told him what I did and it blew his mind (he was also super proud of me cause between the two of us he's the deviant and I'm the goody two shoes 😂)

[@RITCH232]

So, ok I watched this episode right when it came out and now i'm realising that I used this knowledge to stay safe. So in my country and city we don't really trust cops, I was approached by one who was asking me about how to get something from their phone (something about a password I believe), and the moment they came near me I made a full scan of what I was carrying at the moment, cellphone, wallet and backpack. The entire time I was conscious of their movements, the content of my pockets and not a single second I grabbed or touched their phone, nothing happened besides me helping them but putting this knowledge to work it's very interesting tbh.

I'd want to be friends with him, but never hangout with him...

[@Alshevano]

That’s crazy, I’ve been paranoid since I was a kid and always kept my stuff in my front pockets.

[@Runoratsu]

I have a hard time getting my wallet out of my pocket myself usually, it's so full of junk, and I'm fat. I think I'd be a bad target most of the time.

[@profviral]

I would think an easy way to case a joint or a mark would be to "accidently" break your pair of glasses/saying that you did/ forgot to bring them to the mark, faking farsightedness to ask either for help seeing the directions (taking a lot of time "confirming" them) or not raise suspicion when you pick something from the person's coat you "accidentally" knocked off from their chair or wherever

"Hey, look at my phone while i take your money" this is my opener

[@SilaDrenja]

that's why I always have my hands in my pocket and I constantly subtly check if everything is there. when I talk to someone I do a handshake but always from time to time my hand is in my pocket.

[@gamethogic3751]

I took a dudes wallet with a chain in it and followed him with it in my hand and eventually put it back and said be careful your wallet is falling out lol

[@zahktuthalxalyrion6364]

I feel like the chain is more deterrant than anything. Because unless the clasps on both ends of the chain happen to also have locks and require a key to remove, it's still super doable to sneak away with a chained wallet.

This made me remember a teachers vacation film from a subway platform. My teacher were filming his friend in front of him walking along the platform, when a guy spun around and started following the friend, in front of the camera. No pickpocketing happened because he figured out he was being filmed. This was pre-smartphone times.

When I was in the Louvre, there were signs in the room for Mona Lisa warning against pick pocketing, and it was very obvious in the room who was doing it. The next day, the workers of the Louvre went on strike because the problem was so bad and nothing was really being done about it.

[@carlo4393]

ProTip before stealing wallets: You have to make your friend record you while stealing pocket so if you get caught, you will say " This is a social experiment there's the camera right there" and get away with it, but if you succeed move on to the next target.

• 2:29 - Even if that's a cheap phone, you're still risking losing it for what might be a few dollars (or these days, nothing), especially if you get busted. You'd need to be able to convert credit-cards and IDs to make it worth it. • 5:02 - Tell me about it! 😉 😀 5:44 - Poor Brian's so confused right now. 😛 😂 • 7:39 - (1) What about credit-cards, ID replacement, identity theft, ruined credit, etc. (2) Many stab wounds heal for free.

I was in Bareclona last year on a short trip, and there were pickpockets everywhere. From the Magic Fountain, to peddlers ready to take advantage on naive tourists.

“Phones sticking out of pockets” So pretty much every teenage girl with their phone in their back pocket. Edit: didn’t think I had to clarify that I don’t mean anything against women. I’m just saying they’re easy targets.

[@MmeHyraelle]

Every women clothing with minuscules pockets. My hands don't even fit in.

[@multiplebees]

so would you rather have them with their phones at their faces? or always in their hands?

[@supercowbomb8287]

[@multiplebees]

supercowbomb Would you prefer that teenage girls instead carry cellular devices in their hands at all times, at which they would likely be prone to look at their screens more frequently?

[@cetkat]

Honestly, the biggest reason I try never to put my phone in my back pocket has nothing to do with losing it to a pickpocket, but to the toilet. Every woman knows at least one person who learned that the hard way.

best way to steal is to go to someone pull a dagger and say " *your money or your life* "

[@zahktuthalxalyrion6364]

Well...depends on who you've pulled a dagger on. They may know enough self defense techniques to get out of that without serious injury, then pull a firearm on you.
