A few years ago a girl was pick pocketing at show by pretending she was drunk and pretending to stumble and fall into men. Be vigilant.

Show their faces 🤣🤣 bunch of rats...smh

[tyshownramire]

Why the hell would you put your cell in your back pocket

[fritzlanguish]

It's good to see the safety ambassadors keeping the streets safe.

[gohvdgd]

What a total waste of air others could breathe ...

[alextroquero]

One of the most satisfying thing to see is not only them getting arrested but showing their faces and seeing them walking in the walk of shame 😂😂

[secndtonne]

Hell yeah shoutout to the person that recorded their faces and the News for showing it 👏

I've gone to clubs with three items: ID, credit card & phone. That's it. You don't need to carry a wallet with 3-5 credit cards, insurance cards, pictures, library card, gift cards, membership cards etc. leave it at home.

These people need to be in prison for 6 months per item stolen. That would send a message.

Should have taken them to the back alley and deal with these appropriately. What are they gonna say? pickpocket: " Hello? 911? My girlfriend and I were pick pocketing folks then these bouncers beat us up". Then 911 sends a few cops over to the place only to find out these two are from NYC. Proceed to take this couple to the back alley and beat the crap out of them.

Evil places tend to attract evil people..

But why are ignoring Ohio, East Palestine ? ? Trust in you is a all time low.

If you get picked a pocket, well deserved. Next time use better judgment on how you leave your belongings unattended or exposed.

[edwardprice]

One problem is women's pockets are to small, and half the phone sticks out.

One thing I like about Islam is they chop off the hands of Thieves.

Defund criminals. Cancel all government social financial assistance for criminals. Getting financial aid should be for law obeying people. Why pay them so they have the freedom to commit crimes?

[marktony]

Just because they think their in a gay era they weren't gonna get caught
they pay more attention

[JL-rdgn]

management may not tolerate pickpockets but gASScon does

[danasmith]

Usual suspects, who's surprised? Cut off their hands they won't do it again

[lakt]

Keep your possessions in your front pocket !
