1. PICK POCKETING IS ORGANIZED CRIME
Gang leaders operate under the supervision of lieutenants, trainers, etc. Next time you hear about kids, women or others picking pockets, remember the daily pickings - go to the boss who doles out the daily wage and bonus.

2. THEY RETURN THE DOCUMENTS
You may think you were lucky. There is no such thing. These are the regulations of the organization. You may even receive your lost documents by registered post! You feel happy and hopefully will get back to your carelessness making yourself yet again, and easy target. Think about it Imagine if all the people who are pick pocketed, have to remake all the lost documents. Identity card, driving license etc. It will definitely create a serious problem and will hit headlines as to how many documents had been reissued. The victims will also start pressuring the society to do something - when they have to spend time redoing all the documents. (The painful process of filling forms, digging out originals, filling a police report to name a few.)

3. MILLIONS LOSE MONEY EVERYDAY
Bazaars, malls, busy streets, trains, buses, airports, exhibition centers and even places of worship are favorite places for pickpockets.

4. NOT REPORTED - NOT INSURED - ONLY HELPLESS
CNN reported that in July 2000, that the Thai Government had released special ladies-only-buses during month-end as ladies lose their pay packets to the pickpockets.

5. THEY SMELL MONEY.
The pickpocket can easily spot a person carrying undue amount of money by the telltale of a periodic pat to the location where the money is kept. For example, a person having money in his back pocket will be patting it periodically where as a lady carrying extra money will hug her hand bag.

6. THEY ARE MASTERS - Difficult to Outwit
However careful you are, they will distract you and at lightning speed, the money would have passed on to another person. (Remember this is organized crime)

Many, yes - even home made ones. However they are not practical for everyday situations. Download the Free Booklet and help society by helping yourself and family.

9. THEIR OPERATION
            1. Pick pocketing is generally done with two fingers, with a swift motion.
            2. Bags are ripped with a sharp instrument.
            3. At least two culprits are around - one to pass and the other to runaway with it.                 They create a distraction. In most cases there is no proof that the suspect stole                 the money, as there is no evidence of it being stolen.
