| The Purse | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here I will show how how to pluck the wallet from an unsuspecting woman. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There you see her, talking on her cell phone oblivious to the world around her. Her purse is dangling over her shoulder, still open from where she took out the phone. What do you do? This is what this part of the guide is all about. The purse is really a pickpocket's dream come true; the wallet is away from the mark's body, out of sight, and sometimes not even near the mark at all. A woman's wallet offers more to its taker than a man's does, seeing how it can also hold more cards and checkbooks, and as mentioned earlier is easier to relocate. |

| The best mark is a woman alone with a dangling purse from her shoulder, preferably with her purse flap open or unzipped. With the bag behinder gently feel for the snap (if it is still latched) and unfasten it, using your thumb to mask the click. The bag will drop slightly, but this is okay. Most women won't notice this and now the contents are loser in the bag. After that gently, but quickly, slide your hand in and fell for the wallet, which should be easy since they are usually made of leather. Grab it with your index and thumb (the picking, or dipping, fingers. To strenghten them for a lift try putting a tight rubber band around them and work opening and closing.) Gently slide the wallet out and if you have a partener pass it off, o just tuck it in your pocket and walk away. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A zipped purse is no big deal if you take your time and are careful. First gently grasp the zipper with your index and thumb and index finger and gently pull back as quickly as possible. For this type of lift try and have a coat over your arm to mask your hans. Zippers take longer than latches and you don't want to be seen at work. Practice unzipping things at home until you can get used to doing it quickly, quietly, and without disturbing the mark. After the bag is open just dip into it and remove the wallet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A backpack purse is the ultimate pickpocket dream come true. The valuables are completely out of sight and in easy reach of the person behind them. The only drawback is that they then to be large and it is harder to find the wallet. Press up against the mark and gently either unsnap or unzip the purse, then remove the wallet. The backpack is a good mark because the back has few nerve receptors and so if the bag is touch the mark won't feel it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
