This is sort of a real thing: in touristy areas they sometimes have signs warning of pickpockets, which causes people to check their wallet location and alerts the pickpockets where the wallet is for easier snatching.

That's why you gotta do a full pat down to throw them off.

Pretend your wallet is missing. Start freaking out and accusing others around you of stealing jt.

No sense trying to pickpocket the guy with no wallet

Also makes the actual pickpockets wonder if someone is working the area and better than them, since they didn't see it happen.

I just do the macarena every time I see the sign.

Crozekiel@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 64d

Hahah... Wait, why were you watching?? Are you a pickpocket?

JasonDJ@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 64d (1 reply)

Wrist watch...wedding band...

Nothing in my hands...nothing up my sleeves...

What do you do if you're naked, though?

helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 64d

Start digging. Make sure you clearly pull out a few hundreds and put them back in.

I'd assume in that case one would be using their prison wallet.

Just stick your hands between your buttocks. That's nature's pocket.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 64d

Want to pickpocket me? 😏

4D chess: the pickpockets put up the warning signs.

Fellow fish listener or do you just also happen to know that fact?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 64d

Fish listener? Like Aquaman?

some people strapped thier wallet to a pouch under thier shirt, so its likely wont get snatched if its close to your skin.
