How Bob, the son of a judge, got involved in social engineering and pickpocketing for the purpose of entertainment.
Why pickpockets are commonly targeted by terrorist organizations for radicalization efforts.
How diversionary crime like pickpocketing has changed just like every other profession during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Bob is able to get close to real-life criminal pickpockets and learn their tricks of the trade without winding up in the hospital -- or worse.
The psychology of a pickpocket -- what they're looking for in an ideal victim and what you can do to ensure you're not that victim.
