The day one pick pocket was caught in Ikeja, Lagos, my mouth was wide open for 10 mins!

Smooth shaved. Clean designer clothes. Jewelry. Perfumed. Like, it would be the least person you would have suspected to steal anything.

He was caught with 3000 naira. He actually stole the money from an agbero loading a shoprite bus.

So shocking.

pick pockets are every where now, every state in Nigeria. Dont think because you, or any of your family members or friends, have not been a victim in this case, then you neglect this important tips. Economy Harsh o, so you cant afford to loose your phones, money or wallet. That wallet especially, cos ur identification cards might be in it, ur ATM and other important documents.
lemme dont bore u with too much introductions, these tips keeps u alert at all time.

1. He keeps pretending to be saerching for money from his pocket to pay the conductor, in that process his magical fingers must have tampered with ur properties. they are very fast, so beware.

2.They usually have something they use to cover their laps for example a poly bag, a sweater( that kind heat dey catch me, i con comot am ), or some kinda bag sha, they use it to 1st cover wat they've stolen from you before putting it in the bag or sweater pocket diplomatically.

3. He tries to change his position anytime a passenger drops from the vehicle. going to explore more potential assets .

4. He might start talking about football, politics, or how GEJ is clueless(TANoids no vex o), Abi how buhari forged certificate, just to divert the attention of his prey. so beware.

5. In town, they normally board a bus and drop within a very short distance. If a passenger that sat near you does that, check your pocket o.

6. Appearance does not matter my brothers and sisters, even someone that suits up could be a pick pocket, so be vigilant.

7. They normally carry out their operations on weekend, when they know the business men and women carry money to the market, and others carry money for domestic shoppings at the market.

Advice:
No matter how tight your jeans trouser is, they could remove anything from your pocket be it back or front, without you knowing. maybe na charm sha. i no know. so when you are about entering a bus, remove your phones and wallet and hold them in ur hands.
And make sure anybody sitting close to you put their hands were u can see them.

A lot of experiences bro.... but have always been lucky

brb for my testimonies.

LewisO:
(op) What's wrong with you, why are u using only "He"? Picking pocket involves... "He" and "She". So stop making it look like a single gender thing. Women too picks pocket as well, there's is even unknowable u won't know when she pick pocket u join sef.

For most of them mind wey dey read the topic now be say na only man dey pick pocket.

I'll never forgive you for this statement....
its you and your family members that would rot in jail by the special grace of God.

Didn't really tot abt dat
True bro.
At least we would put ladies into consideration naw.

Mine was on dec 22 2013, I was going to the market to make purchases, I boarded a bus and along the way the guy sitting close to me was reading dis juicy morning newspaper, I took a peep and from there I started reading with him, the man now spread the paper on our laps sinec we were reading together. When we got to the next bus stop the man alighted, it was when the bus started moving that the lady at my back now asked me to check my pocket. When I did, I found out that I've read the whole 35k in my wallet on a newspaper

wagazala:


I was going to quote this too....sounds like a scene from a movie..Lol.

But OP's points are valid. I had a guy pick me once, unfortunately for him I was listening to music via my earphones so I was startled when the music went off. All I could see was the other end of my earphone hanging loose then I pounced on the guy beside me. We were seated on the last row in the bus so nobody else could have reached me, but I was rather late. His partner had dropped at the next bus stop with my phone but after several brushing I got my phone back.

OP sometimes they come in two's. Be weary of fully grown adults that insist on lapping each other in the bus too.....ensure the put their hands where you can see em too...

SMH, does a detective have to be a criminal b4 he understands the ways of a criminal, or does a medical doctor have to be infected by a particular disease b4 he understands the symptoms, or does a psychiatrist have to be mad before he understands the ways of mad pple.DEFINITELY NOT. it all balls down to studying, knowledge n experience. i am very sure u b OLODO for ur school, because u ve lil knowledge, thats y u r posting rubbish.
