In a lot of countries including the Philippines, pickpocketing is unfortunately common. Some of my friends and relatives have become victims of these despicable people. The sad thing is that many of them even make pickpocketing their means of living. Having done it so many times they are so used to the act that it had become natural for them. Amazingly, most of the time you won’t even realize you’ve been pickpocketed until you reach out for your purse or wallet and find out it’s no longer there. Now in the more developed countries like the U.S., hi tech pickpocketing has been becoming a trend. Yes, thieves have employed electronic ways of stealing. Your credit cards don’t have to end up in the hands of these people before they can steal from you. You could lose valuable information even without the criminals touching your purse or wallet. Scary huh!
