That is awesome you got your wallet back and no violence. I've never been pick pocketed but I have been jacked twice for money by thieves.
The first time I was about 14 and a couple of older teenagers grabbed me and took I my walkman. Remember those sony sport tape players with the yellow headphones circa 1990? grrr Unhurt but I could have avoid it I think by crossing the road. I think a crime of opportunity.
Second time I was staying at hostel in Manchester England and was robbed at knife point by a couple of hooligans a block or two after leaving for the night. They only got a small amount of cash, the best part was that I was only in England to see Oasis and was going to meet up with a guy I met online that I traded bootlegs with. He was taking me to his local and when i told my story the bar owner and the other patrons thought it was wrong and wanted to show me a good time and they bought my drinks (hiccup!) and dinner and all that jazz. Way more spent then the cash I had lost earlier. nice people! so much fun!
I was unharmed but shaken by the knife getting placed against me. I knew it was coming too as I saw them following me but again nothing I could do really. They changed sides of the streets when I did, i saw no cabs. no people. A planned crime. Just glad to be unharmed.
