Recession Converts London’s Pickpockets to Putpockets



Aware that people are suffering in the economic crisis, 20 former pickpockets have turned over a new leaf and are now trawling London’s tourist sites slipping money back into unsuspecting pockets.

Anything from 5 pounds to 20 pound notes is being surreptitiously deposited in unguarded pockets or open handbags in Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and other busy spots.

The initiative, which runs until the end of August in London before being rolled out countrywide, is being funded by a broadband provider,TalkTalk, which says it wants to brighten up people’s lives in unusual ways.

When is that shit gonna hit St Louis?

  2. I can't believe this. If they were really thieves why don't they just skim the money. And who is to say they aren't still stealing wallets.
