It's a little long, but it's fascinating.

Very cool. Saw a documentary awhile back about pickpockets in India that was good. Wish I remembered the name of it.

This was my favorite part:

Quote:
Then there was the time, he claims, that he decided to show off after spotting an off-duty sergeant, a renowned chaser of pickpockets, on his way to Yankee Stadium. Mr. Rose sidled up to him in the crowded train, plucked a roll of $300 from the man’s pocket and slipped $30 or $35 of his own money, in smaller denominations, into the sergeant’s pants. When the sergeant recognized Mr. Rose one stop later, he patted his pocket, reassured to feel money there. (In an interview, the sergeant, now retired, denied ever being bested by Mr. Rose.)

I wanted to know how much they make in a year. Understood that it varies. I'd assume those big scores noted in the article are the exceptions. Seems like he made a decent, survivable living.

Other wise, pretty good.
