For 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. I come from in southeast London, where that is an honorable profession. Anyone can break a house and steal things, but picking somebody’s pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotels, theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers and restaurants. Now we don’t steal any more, but this crime is worldwide. Here is how to protect yourself. Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and money. Mother with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair games. My preferred target was a lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I’m next to her, I can reach her cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left and I tended to steer clear of them. “Women whose bag are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket”, as there isn’t a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use your bag with handles rather than with strap. For man, one of the best places to keep a wallet is the back pocket of tight trousers. You will feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is the buttoned-up inside pocket of the jacket. There is just no way in. Even better, keep wallet attached to a cord or chain that is fastened to a belt. A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard. The perfect setting is the clothing store when customers wander among the racks; they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security makes a pickpocket’s job much simpler.

3. In the speaker’s opinion, what’s the best place for a man to keep his wallet?
4. What is the perfect setting for picking pockets, according to the speaker?
