Easy targets in Pickpockets


Easy targets in Pickpockets

A skilled pickpocket can hit almost any pocket, but all pickpockets prefer easy targets. Ridiculously easy targets are away from the body where the victim will not feel a thief's touch:
  • Open bags, especially shopping bags with an interesting store label
  • Outside pockets of a backpack or shoulder bag
  • A bag or pack left away from you or in an adjoining booth while at a restaurant, internet cafe, etc.
  • Other easy targets are pockets that are easy to get at and out of the victim's field of vision:
  • Rear or thigh pocket of trousers
  • Outside pockets on a man's jacket or other loose-fitting outer garment
  • Anything hanging on your belt, such as a cell phone or fanny pack
  • Do not carry your wallet, phone, or other valuables in any of these places.
