NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Police on Sunday were searching for a woman they said pickpocketed multiple people who were outside waiting to see the performers from the Broadway smash Hamilton in Midtown.
Between May 25 and Nov. 6, six people reported having their property removed as they waited for the stars of Hamilton outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre, 226 W. 46th St.
The suspect used the victims credit cards to buy about $2,200 worth of merchandise at Macys, Juniors Restaurant, Rite Aid, Target, Designer Shoe Warehouse, Burlington Coat Factory, and Duane Reade, police said.
Thats very surprising. I wouldnt expect something to happen like that, Julia Allman of Pennsylvania told CBS2s Tracee Carrasco.
I think its awful that theres those kinds of people out in the world that want to take advantage of people, said Jamie Marlowe of Pittsburgh. . .The suspect was described as a black female with black hair and glasses. She was last seen wearing a black jacket, a gray sweater, black pants, and a gray scarf, police said. . .

Add another reason to never see it.
They should have the victims try to identify the suspect during the curtin call.
Symmetry:
Pickpocket : Hamilton : : Democrats : America
At the stage door with baseball bats.
Wonder if Mike Pence got himself a secret chuckle over this....
“The suspect was described as a black female with black hair and glasses.”
I wonder what her hair felt like.
You already know.

Where did I put that tiny violin ...

I got pickpocketed on a train platform in Naples last March. It’s the only bad experience I’ve had in traveling internationally for the past nine years, and if you were to ask me where in the world I would expect it to happen, I would’ve told you Naples, Italy. I had my wallet in my front pocket and my jacket extended to below my beltline. It happened as I boarded the train as other people were exiting and I didn’t feel a thing. Ten minutes into my ride, my phone buzzed with text message from Chase asking if I had used my credit card to buy $2200 worth of clothing at a store in Naples. By the time I got back to my hotel to call my wife and start cancelling credit cards, they had used it (or tried) to buy $800 worth of shoes and my debit card at a liquor store for $26. I got complacent and paid dearly for it. I didn’t lose anything other than 95 euros cash and the hassle of getting new credit cards and having money wired to me to continue my trip and to get home. Lesson learned - keep it secure and zipped up in a safer place.
When I lived in the city, I learned my lesson the same as these folks. My pickpocket was a pro though and returned my wallet by dropping it in a post box. Post office returned it to me with only the cash missing. I was too poor to own a credit card back then.
Uh huh.
wow
Whoppi?
The actual theft occurred when they bought the tickets.
Yes, I was there.
I seem to remember a quick fondle or two in the family jewels area.
When I got home my left nut was missing.
That goes to show you just how desperate the New York City left has become.
Redistribution of wealth.
I’m sure they were all cool with it.
Going to the show proves them fools willing to part with money, so...
