Throughout history, people have been the victims of pickpockets. Today, pickpocketing is one of the most rapidly increasing crimes.

Usually a pickpocket will work with another pickpocket as his partner; Another kind of pickpocket works outside or inside bars and specializes in stealing from persons who have had too much alcohol to drink.
