Protection against theft

When the train stops, the perpetrators go close to the passenger, just before closing the door they surprisingly snatch the mobile phone and leave the train.

The escalator is brought to a standstill by the emergency assistance device. In the result the victim is jostled. During the confusion, the perpetrators steals the valuables of the unsuspecting victims.

The victim is bumped into or harassed. The accomplice suddenly stops. While the victim is distracted, the "puller" steals the valuables of the unsuspecting.

Preferred crime scenes: public transport, entrance and exit areas of public buildings, elevators and revolving doors.

In heavily frequented buses and trains as well as in shops, the pickpocket moves unpleasantly close to the victim until the victim angrily turns his back and the handbag or shoulder bag he is carrying is "ready to hand" to the perpetrator.

Pickpockets take advantage of the deep sleep of overtired or drunken night owls. They use public transport to specifically select these passengers in order to steal from them on their way home from the club or other events.

The pickpocket is looking for passengers who carry their wallets in their back trouser pockets. With a sharp object, such as a razor blade, he cuts open the back pocket. Covered - for example by his jacket - the thief catches the falling purse and flees.

After withdrawing money, the perpetrator stains the outer clothing from the victim with a liquid (e.g. mustard or ketchup) unnoticed. The perpetrator and his accomplices are "ready to help". The previously withdrawn money disappears during the verbose cleaning attempt.

The pickpocket shows himself to be unfamiliar with the place and asks for directions while presenting a city map. While the victim picks up the map and orients himself, the pickpocket unnoticed opens the handbag.

The pickpocket asks the victim to change banknotes into coins. As soon as the victim searches for the matching coin in the coin compartment, the pickpocket distracts the victim by digging in the coin compartment with his fingers, so that banknotes can be pulled out of the coin compartment unnoticed.

Traveling with a lot of luggage? A perpetrator shows himself to be helpful and offers his help by carrying his bag into the train. While the bag carrier hurries ahead or provokes an artificial traffic jam in the boarding area of a train, the accomplice steals the valuables from the victim's shoulder bag or handbag.

Pickpockets go on the platform while the train is stopping. The accomplice walks parallel in the train and looks for suitable victims. The offender outside the train knocks on the victim's window and obviously asks for information. The accomplice uses the distraction to steal the valuables.
