I never keep my wallet in my back pocket because of pickpocket thieves.
Since my encounter with a pickpocket I always keep my wallet in my front pocket. It was later in the evening around 11:30 pm when my ex-wife and I were at the local 24-hour Super K-Mart buying some cheap bookshelves. She stood ahead of the shopping cart and I was behind the shopping card holding the large box steady. Well I noticed this guy stand in line behind me, then started approaching closer and closer. I noticed out of the corner of my right eye the guy’s head. It seemed as if he was trying to rest his chin on my right shoulder he was so close, then I felt a tiny tug at my back left pocket. I swing around and the guy jumps back and quickly wanders off.
NEVER again will I ever keep my wallet in my back pocket. When I was a kid I watched some guy try to pick my dad’s wallet. We were in a crowded out door market and at the time my dad had his wallet in his front pocket. So some guy walks by quickly, notices something sticking out slightly from my dad’s back pocket and pulls. The guy walking past had pulled out the lining to my dad’s back pocket instead of making off like a thief.
Then there was the time I had a hole in my pocket and my wallet fell out in a movie theater. I felt something hit my feet and I thought it was garbage from the guy behind me. So what do I do? Kick it down to the row head of me. Turns out I kicked down my wallet to the guy in front of me. I noticed the guy bend over a couple of times during the movie and glance back at me. He took all my cash, left the wallet and credit cards and dropped it back on the floor. A really dumb move on my part but I took all the precautions I could and had all my accounts closed and new account numbers issued just in case.
