On the subway or bus, some thieves may use the following tricks to steal valuables from others: 1. **Crowded environment**: Thieves may take advantage of crowded environments to get close to the target and steal without being noticed. 2. **Distracting attention**: By making noise or distractions, the target's attention is attracted, and the target ignores the space behind him, and the thief steals the item. 3. **"Accidental bumping"**: Deliberately bumping into the target and taking the opportunity to take the item while he is in a hurry. 4. **Pretending to need help**: Pretending to be in an emergency and needing help to get close to the target and steal. 5. **Intentionally using the body to block**: Paralyze or stand in front of the target, use the body to block and prevent others from seeing their actions. 6. **Use peers to share the burden**: Cooperate with accomplices, one person attracts the attention, and the other steals. 7. **Use bags or shopping bags**: Reach into the bag or shopping bag of others and quickly take away valuables. 8. **Look down at the phone**: Pretend to focus on the phone, and steal when the target is off guard. 9. **Pretending to look for tickets or other items**: Taking the opportunity to get close to the target and steal. When riding public transportation, individuals should remain alert, pay attention to their surroundings, and protect their belongings to reduce the risk of theft.
