Pick Pocketing

[magicalmerf]

Anyone here good enough to pickpocket? I doubt it, but i think it would be sweet to learn how.

[Exploding_viper]

it sounds simple but its not. ive had someone who was good at it describe it to me and even show me and pickpocket me, and didnt feel a thing but it takes practice. if i can find his number ill call him

[Shanx]

I've done it a couple time. I'm not to bad at it. You just have to be sly and calm and slide it out of their pocket. Not like some of the people I've seen just ripping it out of the pocket and booking.

[ultimatefrisbee92]

Also if you in like a park or something and you yell out "i lost my wallet" everyone will either take out their wallet or alest check to see if they still have
which will show you where it is and will help you steal it

[magicalmerf]

Ya and one method you have to bump them, because the brain can only think about the bump, and it won't concentrate or feel you slide your hand in their pocket.

[Shanx]

Yeah, Thats a good one ^

[magicalmerf]

Anyone watch, The Hustle i think its called on the discovery channel. Its fucking interesting and show all how scams work. Like pickpocketing/stealing etc.

[Phoenix Fire]

Im huge which makes it easier. I target poseurs with overly long wallet, most of them have a leater strap with a button to hold it, slide your thumb under the button and it pops then hold the chain and pull up slick like and you've got the wallet.

[deathlord888]

put a knife to thier throat and you will get there wallet

[magicalmerf]

or do that.

[Phoenix Fire]

yeah that works
not quite as subtle
but you'll either get they're wallet, or end up pulling the knife on someone like me lol.

[magicalmerf]

Unless they whip out a gun, then your screwed.

[Phoenix Fire]

Unless they whip out a gun, then your screwed.

Or they simply turn the knife on you.
That's what I was referring to.

[magicalmerf]

well what if its hidden in their pocket, huh huh huh ya what then!

they wouldn't even see it coming

[Phoenix Fire]

it's hard to be in your pocket if it's against they're throat...
Maybe you should get some sleep.

[magicalmerf]

It was a joke.

But i really should anyways.

[Phoenix Fire]

It was a joke.

But i really should anyways.

Yeah, i vould use some too.
havent slept in 4 days

[Insurrection]

what else u can do is if ur at school or something ask a person for like a quarter than u got location... then after they put it back and they leave u knock the backpack on the floor open the zipper and walah u got a wallet with $$$$$ :p i got over 300 like that :p

[heroinjunky]

what site can i go to that will allow me to watch the episode from the discovery channel about pick pocketing?

[Slawter]

probably the discovery channel website.:eek:

[Phoenix Fire]

Really? Discovery shows on the Discovery website?
Your lying..

[Guitarmstr1948]

I have tried it a few times, succeeded twice. Once i got a hundred and sum dollars out of a kid at school using the bump and another time 20 bucks out of some dumb bitch's pants

[ANarchY_boy]

Something is not right in the head,to bad
Doc's can't fix the shit when i'll be pretty fucking dead
Please don't feed my ego i don't feel that shitty need
I'm a bad seed indeed just let me smoke my weed
Never love money couse that love can kill to much Money love can get you ill
We still have a war draw,never kiss the shit
Deafeat life,stay alive and fuck retreat
We love the mike,we love life,we love the hip-hop beat
We only fight on stage,and every show is live you know that shit
Fuck fame,fuck awards,fuck happy music
The word is a tool fool we have to use it
You know life is a game,at the heavy weight,
The final countdown can't wait,
Use the brain , man is never to late
Don't think for diamants and shit,
Don't be so fucking friendly
Greedy motherfucker,your coffin has to be trendy
I'm like a flea,check my ID in hell the sickness of mallerick's man,i'm sick indeed
When i take the lead i see you catch speed
Oh shit,go fuck the beat called rapman and this is it
....

[kevql]

It's always fun to pickpocket from teenagers. Especially the one that have the huge pants that sag down to thier ankles. You wont get much from them but atleast they won't feel a fucking thing.

[DoG MikkyW]

I go to high school, so I get quite a bit of practice. I stole a girls wallet out of the back of her tight short-shorts by bumping into her and going *BAM BITCH*, with a pelvic thrust to her backside. What makes me worry about humanity is that she didn't notice. I also stole this one kids wallet while he was sitting down, he scooted his chair forward, and as he lifted his ass to move his chair, I lifted his wallet. Had about a 3 inch, 2 second window of opportunity. But the far best thing about high school is people putting electronics in backpacks, last year I stole 5 psp's, 2 ipods, and a zune.

[AvengedX7]

I pickpocketed a kid once in school. I had some kid shove me into him and just slipped it out. It was easier than i thought it would be. Got like 100 in gift cards and 80 cash.

[DoG MikkyW]

Christmas brings gift card and electronics "shopping" time at school.

PICKPOCKETING TECHNIQUES.

**Tips** for firsttimers without a team

1. Ok to start off, you have to be confident, the second you doubt your abilities is when you're going to get caught. I'm decent at, if you get caught--BOOK. fast.

2. Have a backpack to keep all the stolen wallets or purses etc.

3. Have a place where you can go and dump the wallets/purses after you've obtained what you've wanted.

4. (once you get good like real good) have a razor or knife to cut really tight pockets.

5. If you get caught, have a plan to escape, like a car runnin nearby or have somewhere to run and hide etc.

--------------------------------

Stealin from dudes with wallets (no team, opportunist style)

Ok the best place to start off is in a crowd for a few reasons.

1. You can blend in.

2. A crowd is natural, if you steal something and they notice a bump they will think someone is just pressing against them (hopefully)

3. If someone sees you, they will probably just be glad that they aren't gettin picked unless they're a snitch by nature etc.

---------------------------------

Establishing a mark (target) should be easy. Make sure it's a typical *****g person who might lose their wallet to you today.

A good first mark (target) is someone who has they wallet stickin out they back pocket. It's also less nervewracking because you can already see it rather than someone who has it in their pocket fully.

---------------------------------

Time to actually do the shit. Grab you're nuts, and since you can see the wallet sticking out slightly of the tip of their pocket you are gonna take it.

Walk behind the dude, then get just in back of their wallet. Take your thumb and index finger, firmly grasp the tip of his wallet, while simultaneously keeping the same pace so the person you are pickin doesn't feel a thing.

Now slowly slide the wallet out of the dudes back pocket. If they don't stop or turn around, your first pick just went down smooth.

If he turns around, BOOK, but make sure to NOT drop the wallet.

-------------------------------

If you can't see the tip of the wallet you can still do the pick, but you gotta be a lil more sly. Just stick your thumb and index finger into their pocket, grasp the tip of the wallet, and pull it out nice and gentle like.

If it is a bit tight to reach into, slash it with your razor/knife, let the wallet fall into your hands or on the ground, grab the shit, and get out.

-------------------------------

Take the cash, and maybe an atm card, but leave the credit cards and shit. ATM cards sometimes have a pin written on them, and you can withdraw from an ATM, or otherwise they might be on a slip of paper.

-------------------------------

Other techniques (I haven't tried this one, only heard of it being done)

Have someone talk to a tourist out on the street. Make sure they are really engaging them, and they are having a blast of a conversation. Once the dude is comfortable, he puts the hand on the shoulder of the tourist giving you a small window of opportunity to do jack what you can from what you will.

------------------------------

Another method is easy with 2 or 3 people, make sure one is very light handed.

You see a mark with a wallet in the back pocket, you catch up to them, get a few feet ahead, and inadvertently drop some coins. Make somewhat of a scene, and hopefully the person (being kind and whatnot) will bend over and help you out like a good citizen.

This is when your accomplice strikes, lifts the wallet and either gives it to a dish (other dude) or just dips. You thank the person for helpin you, and then you're on your way.

Similiar to this method is when you or an accomplice splashes a dude with some white liquid, and you inform them that they have had a shit taken on them(AKA as a blessing from the birds) . With your tissues, you help them clean it up whilst you or your accomplices help themselves to the spoils.

----------------------------------------

These methods don't always work and if you caught don't blame me, blame yourself for choosing a vigilant mark or for your lack of confidence/performance.

It is easiest to pickpocket someone when they are distracted, so find a way to distract someone and be creative. Havin light hands doesn't hurt either.

[DoG MikkyW]

Read the first line, be confident, sometimes it pays to be outwardly underconfident.

[a2thae]

Read the first line, be confident, sometimes it pays to be outwardly underconfident.

When i said to be confident, i was speaking of the first method.

When does it pay to be UNDERCONFIDENT?

It can pay to ACT underconfident, but while doing so i believe it is a must to always stay fully confident in your abilities and know your limitations.

[DoG MikkyW]

That's what I meant, be outwardly under confident, people will feel superior and therefore far less likely to be suspicious.

[a2thae]

oh, i get it. i failed to see the word outwardly. my bad

[DoG MikkyW]

No Problem.

[mikeekim]

dude i tried this shit and wow! my friend didnt even feel a damn thing.

[DoG MikkyW]

Yep. It's amazing, actually, being a magician is a good way to learn how to do this. In so many ways, being a magician is actually the best way to learn how to pickpocket.

[Rawrchild]

I myself am still very curious about lifting, and am trying to practice with friends the best I can. Here are some tips for people in school or whatsoever who want to give it a shot.

School-
A perfect place.
-Look for kids with baggy jeans, mark the wallet. If your a novice dont try to go in the pocket yet. look for a wallet sticking out.
.Since school is crowded, people expect to get bumped into.
.Simply put your thumb and index finger on the tip of the wallet, Bump into them with a firm grasp and give a light tug on the wallet at the exact same time. Hide the wallet in your pocket, and apologize to the person and say you werent paying attention. Then turn into a hallway the person is not walking.
Take what you can in the bathroom and dump the wallet in the trash.
(BE SMART, TELL NO ONE. NOT EVEN YOUR FRIENDS!!))

-Another possibility, when your in class or at lunch, no one really paying attention to you. Put your sweatshirt on the back of your chair and use it to hide your hand while you search for belongings in the persons bag closest to you. make sure your smart and quiet.
-Lockerrooms, be the last one out and while getting changed watch were people put the phones or wallets in their bags. most people just leave it there and take it and stash it in your bag before you leave.

Things like ipods, phones, zunes, and etc. electronics people at school will usually buy. a stolen ipod you can sell usually 40 bucks to a kid without one. just go home and delete the name on the ipod before you sell it. And if you have no intention of selling, hell you get a new phone or ipod or whatever. And some good practice.


Mall-
-Social place, do the same as the school lift, look for someone with an apparent wallet and do a little bump. apologize and get in the nearest store. then get to a bathroom, take the stuff and dump the wallet in case they noticed it was gone and come search for you.


PURSES!
-Oh my, girls are dumb. leave wallets in the purse unguarded. simply snatch it if they arent paying attention and hide it fast.
-another good way is to put you jacket over your arm and hand and have a book in your hand.
.Walk past the girl and use the hand under the jcket to grab the wallet. you can watch if over the top of the book because they wont be expecting it.


These are all methods I do at least once a week mostly at school.
Dont be nervous as youve probably read, that makes you sloppy.
And dont be giddy, take it and act casual and move away from the mark.
Dont rush it either, wait for the right time.

Just make sure you take what you can and dump what you dont need. VERY IMPORTANT.
the more you lift, the more you get comfortable lifting. just stick to the basics and you should be good.

[DoG MikkyW]

I would generally discourage males stealing from females, it's a dick move. No one here should be stealing mainly for profit, it should be mainly for sport, stealing from a female is just like playing a female at football, if you tackle her, you feel like a loser, if you get tackled, you feel like a loser, it's a lose lose.

[Rawrchild]

Woman are just as equal to men, and when you pickpocket sometimes its not always for sport. you might need money, and its a lot safer then jacking someone.
Just because you think a woman should be more regarded then a man means nothing, they are the same as us and if they arent smart enough to protect their belongings they have no reason in shaming us for taking them.

[DoG MikkyW]

If you need money, steal from walmart, it's fucked up to steal from a woman for no apparent reason. I stated why this is fucked up in my above post with my analogy.

[Rawrchild]

a pickpocket who makes a living from it, will steal from whomever it may concern.
Why else would woman always bitch about wanting to play a boy in football, yeah they are frail but if I lift a womans wallet out of her purse, its not like im tackling her?
She can do the same thing a man does and get her money back.

[evil pirate]

for the beginners:
just take a good friend with u

try the bumping, and if u fail or ged caught. give a signal to ure friend.
let him do somthing stupid. let him drop some cash or let him scream.
then fucking run.

dont return on the same place for at least a week, if u ged caught

[PyroNaziChick]

If you try it in groups, try and get a hot chick to help you distract the victim. Tits=distraction

[Chiri]

Massive necropost there...I'm going to give you a tip. Don't post on something if the last post is over 2 weeks old, because people will start flaming you for it. Thats a good idea though PyroNaziChick. Tits=Good distraction for dudes only ahah.

[hrothgar162]

and lesbos

[new_elite]

God damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crazytaco3000]

i prefer to not fuck people over personally so mostly i steal from stores and stuff or the occasional car hop. i have pick pocketed friends successfully and returned the stuff though.

[TriggerHappyTV]

Idk, i have seen people that r amzaing at it cleaned me out with out my slicing thier hand off. Personaly i am more into pullign a semi auto .45 on their ass make them get naked and get cloths in a bag and run. So they dont have cell phone and people wont stop to help them.

[Delano Gutierre]

best time to do it is at school during halloween if alot of ppl dress up. i just graduated but im dressing as th Joker adgoin back o my school this halloween to see all my frends who just became seniors...an to yank some shit cash. first of all, if theyr really serious, ther'll be no fingerprints wen iditch their shit(gloves not uncommon for th Joker) econd, dressing like that calls for normally inapproriate behavior to become accptable(moving spiratically,...touching ppl and distracting them while acting like a psycho maniac...having 2 frends dress up like a giraffe and another one to ride them as a distraction...one tim.not as a distraction but still funy as hell).

[illmatic]

Not good at it, but would love to be. Pick pocketing is the shit.

[daniel_decode]

If you try it in groups, try and get a hot chick to help you distract the victim. Tits=distraction

That's a PWN to the extreme. We have this pedophile-ish science teacher at my school, and I had my friend "ask for help" ( I swear, it looked like something out of a porno ) took his macbook and iTouch. amazing he didn't make the connection. ^^

[stageninja91]

he didnt make a connection because he didnt want to make a connection. its simple psychology, the mind rejects what it doesnt like.

im kinda pissed i didnt find this site until summer started, i would have loved to practice this at school. but at least my city has a street fair every tues :D i saw this guy with his wallet stickin out n was just askin for it but i didnt do it cause i was holdin my friend's snake n wouldnt want to drop it or run off with the snake (too conspicuous too) if he turned around

[alucard621]

hahaha plus, i dont know how much the snake would like being run around with. next thing you know, you're on the floor with some nasty bite wounds and some police standing around you. that would be such an epic fail. but hey, it would probably make the newspaper.
