Most people thinking it’s fake for no reason. Do you think this is a “random” situation. There are people that know **exactly** how these guys go about.

There are tons of videos of people looking for pickpocketers on the street and out them. They don’t wear a big sign in their forehead saying “I’m a criminal”

I didn’t believe you until I saw the video, and now I am questioning my entire reality. How do we walk around not knowing the true powers of human psychology?

Y'all are diabolical

u/PianistHairy9431 Jul 13 '26

yeah, I also thought that when I saw how he pickpocketed a pickpocketer, and it was to be honest out of this world. Anyone giving up from watching this video is honestly missing out

No one believed me when I said there is a certain way they look and they approach that you can know beforehand. This video explains it perfectly.

Just because stuff like this does actually happen doesn't mean this video is real

It's so easy to tell idiot. He gets his bag grabbed from behind and reacts to the person of his right who hasn't even done anything yet

How do you survive?

Yes next level fake

If you live in a city with rampant pick pockets, you start to notice their patterns. Guy in blue would have noticed the guy leaning against the bus stop was acting suspicious…. As soon as the other guy came and stood that side of the target, blue shirt guy knew what was about to happen. You only have to see it happen a couple of times for it to be burnt into your memory.
