At large events, the chaos and crowds may provide some cover for pickpocketing. Here are some strategies that pickpockets may use, although these behaviors are illegal and unethical: 1. **Blending in the crowd**: Pickpockets can blend into the crowd and take advantage of the moment when people's attention is drawn to the event or performance to reduce the risk of being noticed. 2. **Disguising as staff or volunteers**: They may dress like event staff to reduce the vigilance of others. 3. **Creating a false impression**: Pickpockets may deliberately create a small area of crowding or jostling to divert people's attention away from their actions. 4. **Teamwork**: Some pickpockets may work in groups, with one person responsible for distracting the victim while another person takes advantage of the opportunity to steal. 5. **Targeting a distraction**: They may choose to steal when the audience's attention is focused on the highlight of the event, such as fireworks or celebrity appearances. 6. **Using cover**: Using a large bag, coat or other object in the hand or on the shoulder as a cover while stealing. Although it is helpful to know these strategies to enhance awareness, it must be emphasized that any form of theft is illegal and should be punished by law. People should be vigilant, protect their property safety, and abide by laws and regulations.
