I got picked when I was young. I'm going to say maybe 1970 or 71. My best friend and I drove from our homes in the D.C. suburbs up to Baltimore. There was a section of town there called the "block", full of strip clubs. We were walking down the street and asked by a couple of ladies in hot pants and fishnet stockings if we wanted to have a good time. They appeared very attracted to us and reached down to see if I was excited. We politely thanked them but declined their generous offer. After ordering our first round at the bar we discovered neither of us had any money in our wallets. They were good as they obviously took the money and replaced our wallets. This was before the wide use of credit cards. Their distraction method was certainly effective on a couple of young teenage marks. So we went home and did this

and this:

and then this

I wonder why nobody ever asks how to defend against this type of pickpocketing when they have an expert answering questions. I'm sure they will answer, "don't carry anything or wear anything you don't want stolen". But that's not always possible. Is there anything we can do to make it more difficult?

Scary.
