No description?
My pals down in the gutter claim there is a large pickpocket school in Mexico/South America?
>>>Where are Chicago pickpockets most likely to strike?<<<
Pockets?
I didn’t realize they had a union.
Pay attention and get your head out of your phone!!!
Carry concealed and screw the prohibition.
It's ableist to suggest that Chicagoans with fewer than five digits couldn't successfully pick pockets.
In Chicago?
I visit the Chicago area quite often because we have family there. I avoid Chicago itself like the plague.
I got picked by a pack of 8-10 year old gypsy kids in Paris 20 years ago. Got bum rushed in the subway and they got my cigs and some money out of a coat pocket. I didnt realize it until they were around the corner and gone.
Surprise and misdirection.
The Chicago Pickpockets?
Kicking off against the Austin Weirdos in the XFL opener six months from now.
There was a major uptick in pickpocketing and phone snatching at this year’s Lollapalooza, and all over Chicago in general. Just the other day women were warned about hanging their purses over the backs of chairs while dining in a restaurant. And “flyer boys” engage diners in sidewalk cafés, then snatch their phones and other easy-to-reach valuables. Many judges have stopped setting sensible bail requirements, releasing even habitual criminals on their own recognizance or with ridiculously low bail requirements. And the State’s Attorney, Kim “Crimesha” Foxx (remember her from the Jussie Smollett farce?) has stated her intention to stop charging many minority perps. And that’s exactly what she’s doing. Chicago is becoming a criminal’s paradise.
Poughkeepsie?
It’s a trick question, right?
My guess is Chicago.
Put razor blades in the right pockets and frequent the place to set them up.
Cities are havens for non-working, non-productive parasites. When a productive individual comes into their area, he is easy prey for the parasites.
Imagine that. Pickpockets are more prevalent at bars where people are drunk and don’t know someone’s snatched their wallet.
Sounds like visitors to Chicago should carry a Mexican wallet—one that is strapped to the arm under the sleeve or worn around the neck under the shirt.
I travel for work. Recently been to Chicago area a few times. I have simple rules no matter where I am traveling.
Carry a fake wallet with garbage cards inside and fake dead cards.
Carry a dead phone that isn’t your real one.
If anyone ever asks you for them, hand them over. If anyone steals them, no worries.
This isn’t a problem when you have give up your impostor wallet and phone.
But the highest rate of pocket-picking always occurred at public hangings.
The Loop, Michigan Ave. area and Gold Coast. No surprises there. That’s where the money is.
And pickpockets in Germany are always looking for an easy mark.
Where your wallet is.......
