The Basics Part Two
    Remember to be stealthy and blend in. Try not to act different or suspiciously, and dress normal. People will be on guard and might remember you if you act oddly. Even if it is a simple snatch of oppertunity, it is still all about getting the goods and vanishing. Never run unless you have to, but walk away briskly. Keeping our activities out of sight is vital for pickpockets      .
    Becareful, even if the mark feels or sees nothing, someone else might. Be on guard for cameras and other people's eyes, which are easily fooled. Most people aren't paying attention to anyone other than themselves, and even thats poorly (which makes a pickpocket's job even easier.)
     While you can pick a pocket just about anywhere, the best place to try are as follows; outdoors, resteraunts, restrooms, parking lots, parks, libraries, on escalators, in elevators, revolving doors, and in movie theaters. Basically anywhere the mark might be distracted easily.
      Resteraunts are fertile ground because dinners hand jackets or bags over the back of their seats, or even more rashly dump handbags out of sight on the floor. But if you see an opportunity anywhere go for it. Never hesitate, if you think its a golden moment seize it!
      Carry a shopping bag, book bag, or (ladies) a purse to hide your stolen goods in.Simple wallets can be placed in pockets, but if you have to jack the whole purse then you don't want to have to carry it around in plain site.
      A last bit of advice: should you have to jack the whole purse make sure that if it has a cell phone in it that it is TURNED OFF! Should the mark have time to realize what you've done she could use this as a way to find you if you are still close. Either ditch the phone or turn it off.
