Pickpockets are pussies. They don't want confrontation. I walked around the shittest areas of Paris and not one guy hassled me because I was aware of my surroundings and I have bad resting bitch face. Literally all you need is confidence
>Pickpockets are pussies. They don't want confrontation
I believe it is a sound business tactic, to minimize any threat of violence, and being caught for bigger crimes.
A week ago I was in Barcelona and a French kid (Maghrebi?) stole my phone. I realized this soon and managed to chase him down, where he handed the phone back without question.
I tried this once
got tackled to the ground by a metro janny because he was checking fares in the tunnel and I was too busy being a stone cold badass trying not to get mugged to let anyone accost me

they send kids to pickpocket hoping you will beat them up, at which point they go to the police (who are in on it) and extort you
make sure you always check the ID of your opponent before engaging in fisticuffs
Anywhere that has children begging, e.g. most of tropical Asia, there's a high probability that they are controlled by and kick back money to organized crime.
Show a fake FBI badge even if you aren't American and the cops will not bother you. They don't want any trouble with American citizens, especially someone who is FBI.
Whenever someone bumps into you, grab their wrist and check your pockets. The only people who get pick pocketed are spineless beta males who let strangers touch them without consequence.
I kept my wallet and other belongings in my front pockets. Regardless, I don't know how people don't notice themselves getting pickpocketed. I feel everything, even with pants on.
But the best advice is to not travel to areas that have:
Illegal blacks (in Europe)
European styled brown people
Fat chinks
Skinny brown chinks (flip flop mode)
All the monkeys from Brazil
Gypsies
Kids that are European styled brown
Asian kids that are too brown
Blacks from a civil war torn African country
Shifty middle eastern browns in the US (cities only)
I rubber band my wallet & phones, makes shit sticky. But I think a good chunk of the population are NPCs. If you have a decent enough sneak level, you can pickpocket without being noticed. That's how I rationalize it. I hate people being near me, and I'm hyper aware. On a few occasions, almost always in Spain, I've grabbed a few people's hands trying to get into my pocket.
I'm doing a eurotrip this winter.
Basically my plan is: >keep small wallet with some loose cash that I don't mind getting stolen >Have neck pouch that has passports, tickets, cards, whatever; but rather than wearing it around my neck like a gay I'll either have it crossed over my body (on top of my shirt but under my jackets) or I'll put it in one of my zipper jacket pockets
I'd say it's overkill but this is my first time in Europe and it's for 3 months so I'd rather be careful than careless.
Having the pouch on top of my shirt also saves me having to awkwardly fumble around under my shirt or reach down into my pants if I got one of those fanny packs.
I've personally found that looking as well as smelling like shit is a great deterrent when it comes to pickpockets and other street hustlers, and the best part is that it is completely free.
You'll also deter the rest of society however, which might be viewed as a downside by some.
Walk around naked, so you won't have any pockets to pick
>inb4 you feel a gypsy's slimy finger snaking up your asshole
yes you should do that OP
I can imagine it now some fat autist randomly screaming PICK POCKET!!!! like some sperg while walking amongst crowds.
what about inside cafe's and restaurants?
yes make sure to yell it loudly in between bites of your lunch and sips of your coffee. it is the most efficient way to keep pick pockets away
lmao autistic OP btfo
fat too hehheh
Cut a hole in one of your trouser pockets and thread your dick into it.

Practically this. Just walk with purpose and look pissed.
you can't even stop to look at a tourist attraction or muds will harass you

Best investment you can make.
Only if you lift. Otherwise people will just assume you're mentally ill or homeless
PICK POCKET PICK POCKET!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to tell you ALWAYS yell it while pissing at the urinal you dont want those pick pockets getting you while you are at your most vulnerable
just get a bluetooth speaker and hang it from your bag and set it to blast PICK POCKET in several different languages on repeat
good idea
I would love an excuse to beat the shit out of some random manlet lowlife.

For fuck's sake. What shitholes does this happen in?

Follow that list and you won't get pickpocketed.

Why doesnt europe make a law like saudi arabia where thieves immediately get their hands cut off
they will have many saudi laws soon enough

It depends on the place. Some of them may get pretty violent because you're making their job difficult
