Will Pickpocket Steal ‘Bait’ Wallet From Backpack?

- In the big apple, the NYPD has deployed a special task force of plainclothes police to try and catch thieves red-handed. Along the pop-up shops and around the skating rink at Bryant Park, cops say a pair of professional pick-pocketers struck 18 times in a three-week period. To test how bad the pickpocket problem is, an Inside Edition producer stood around the Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center with a wallet slightly protruding from his backpack to see if a thief takes the bait.
Please prosecute her to the fullest extent of the law.
That would be 8 minutes of arrest
That won’t happen!! She can literally kill someone and she will be out in 24 hours. They don’t prosecute you in NYC.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. The worst that would happen is 8 minutes of arrest.
She didn't commit a crime, there's no money or anything in there so there's nothing to claim
@@papiandres3500 She stole an ugly wallet and an airtag. Still theft.
How embarrassing for her. Her face is even being seen in Australia
😂🤣😂
Hello from Malta , small island in Europe close to Italy
Hello, Watching from Koln, Germany😂😂
Embarrassing? She definitely deserves it!
Hello from Glasgow, Scotland😭😭
Lmao Inside Edition didn't blur out the criminal's face for once! Shame her!!
She's an actress 😂
And they didn't bother confronting her....probably fake
@@MrRabidmole They said they couldn’t find her, which is believable as she probably opened the wallet, saw nothing but an AirTag, and threw it away. And they were in the middle of Manhattan with so many people walking around. I just can’t imagine a news channel with 10 million subs posting a video of an “actress” “stealing” without disclosing the fact. Seems way too reckless. And why bother trying to fake a story? What’s their motive?
Because they have used actors in the past.....Duh
Why would the actress be a public face of a criminal ? Lol she’s not an actress, just a disgrace
An elderly friend of mine had her purse stolen while grocery shopping. It's a real hardship for somebody that lives on a pension. It's disgusting, I hope they get a taste of their own medicine.
I leave my purse in the car and keep my money and cards in my front pockets....no sense in carrying a purse into a store.
I don't know why women carry their purses into a store. Just makes them look like shoplifters
Literally. They need to be sentenced to sticking their own hand in their mouth for 3 months.
@@dbuc4671 to stick their hand in a wood chipper
that happened to an old lady near me as well (Watertown Ct) then the next day the same couple came to my laundromat at 6 am and stole the change machine right out the wall . when i saw the security footage i realized i knew the girl . my very first boyfriends she used to try to steal ...homegirl never got over stealing stuff i guess lol ..but yeah her& her boyfriend pushed the old lady and everything ..scum bags!
They should've put in the wallet a card that says "search the latest update on inside edition, you may or may not be there"
I know right. Such a missed opportunity 😂
or something like "cameras have watched you steal this wallet from one of our agents. Police have been deployed to your residence."
She'd prob turn around and sue they intentionally destroyed her image costing her everything.
@@Wsportys wouldn’t go anywhere though, likely wouldn’t even find a lawyer to take her side
Hey IE, reach out for cheezdoodlesfan och offer him/her a job!
It's kind of infuriating that they set that whole thing up to catch someone and then she got away with it anyway. It doesn't matter that there was nothing in it; it's the principle of the matter and the fact that she's going to do it to someone else. At least New York got to see her face
Exactly. I kinda wish they did these experiments alongside law enforcement (kinda like To Catch A Predator)
You would’ve done the same thing if given the chance. Don’t be hypocritical
I hope and pray for people. Please to all people be safe.
i agree, and the airtag was obviously just thrown away. they should've hidden it if they were serious about confronting the woman
@@LilXancheX aren’t you just self projecting? Not everyone feels the need to steal from someone, have empathy.
Thieves put so much effort into stealing but they can't put the same effort into finding a job and working.
they're still not entitled to other people's money though I agree lol
More effort. 1/10th of the pay out.
I mean it's not that much effort...
Imagine if you can work an average full time job and survive of it !! Use to be like that, not anymore
Pretty sure being able to steal like that takes effort. I mean what kinda person grabs a wallet or phone without making their presence known and within a few seconds? If I tried to steal, I'd probably trip making a get away.
Why not have a second team to chase her down right away?
I hope someone identify her and embarrassed her and find out where she work and lives. That’s if she works 🤷♂️
@@itsnowornever4812 mmm im sure that's their job.
Should put poison on the wallet that would seep into her skin and into her bloodstream the moment she touched it.
@@leahnicole155 Literally.
She ain’t going anywhere, her face is on Inside Edition
"Jokes on her It had $0"
Bruh you gave her a free wallet 🤦♂️
A 5$ wallet 🤦♂️
Not only that but a nice looking one too 🤦♂
Free wallet VS your stealing face on the internet
u think they bought a designer wallet to test this experiment?! 🤣 its probably from the dollar store
Free Wallet vs Having your face plastered on the internet for theft
Found a clutch wallet on the side of the road last month. I drove back, parked, walked over and picked it up. It had cash, cards, license l, receipts, etc. I found and contacted the woman using FB messenger. She had just left town but asked me to drive it to her friends 15 min away. She said she left it on the wheel well of her horse trailer when she was pumping gas. I got to the friends house and the lady pulled $200 from the wallet and gave it to me. I would’ve done it for nothing. 0:00 The whole time I was praying they weren’t going to accuse me of stealing something. “hey there was more money in here”. It’s like a personal crusade of mine to show people there’s still good people in the world.
That’s awesome, good on you! I found almost $150 in cash on the ground the other day and spent 5 minutes looking around for anyone who could have dropped it but ended up keeping it. I feel a little bit guilty but there is no way of knowing who’s it was since everyone would just say the money was theirs.
She lost her purse and asked you to drive it to her? Even if she was planning on rewarding you, that’s pretty lame. She should send someone to you to pick it up.
@@evilsharkey8954 That’s what my parents said. In her defense, she seemed very distraught and asked me super nicely. I’m sure if I had objected, she would’ve had her friend, whose home I drove to, come to me.
I was in a crowd watching an easter parade when I reached into my purse for something only to find someone had sliced it open with a knife and stolen my wallet. I was quite shaken up, stealing is one thing but carrying around a knife sharp enough to do that without me feeling it is a whole other level of scary.
It was Easter bunny. He did it.
That happens in the Philippines, be careful over there.
Glad you were not harmed by this low life. Merry Xmas Cheers Kerry Australia 🇦🇺
That happens a lot. What you can do is put marbles in your purse or bag, so that when someone slices open your bag from the bottom, the marbles will come out and make lots of noise and grab your attention and it will scare the thief away.
@@truehappiness4U Marbles? How about coins?
By not punishing these “petty” crimes is the key factor to an ever-growing crime rate. It’s sending out an open invitation to more criminals. It’s almost a big “welcome” sign.
They have to catch them first, and police don’t want to or don’t have the resources to hunt out every pickpocket, purse snatcher, or window smasher.
@@evilsharkey8954 the police should load suspects to a website and have the public help identify these people. Someone will recognize this lady.
Congratulations lady you made it to Inside Edition , your face will be recognized
Always be aware of your surroundings. A guy reached over me on the bus pretending to call to his friend on the street and in that time took my phone from my bag. I only caught him because he tried hiding it between his legs but my phone had a colorful case so it stood out.
Don't suppose you punched the guys lights out too.
As much as that would be cool if you did, it wouldn't be a good choice.
Watch “Pickup on South Street” 1953 on CZcams for pickpocket on bus in NYC.
Her face is now forever on the internet.
It's on Broadway too, she's an actress 😂
She doesn't care. Most of these criminals don't.
This happened to me while leaving a very crowded Fourth of July firework celebration. I was carrying my young daughter and had my phone in my back pocket and someone took it. I felt so violated and stupid for not paying attention. Cops did nothing. I hope they prosecute her to the full extent.
😂 I'm glad I'm smarter than that !
@@mikebooth5942 😔
That really sucks. 😮 my goodness.
ALWAYS keep your valuables like money,phone, keys in the FRONT pockets. Junk goes in the trunk!
Damn they really took your innocence lmao. Hope you have deeper pockets this year
We need part two. We want her to be arrested.
Why would you arrest an actress? Photographers and videographers wait hours upon hours to capture a specific moment on camera, if you think this was real I have a big Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center I’ll sell you for a great price. You could call it a steal!
@@LondonPennP she wasent a actress
@@nichollskim yes she was
@@TESLA-fc6wm nothing?
@@LondonPennPany evidence?
Its also crazy how many times I have seen people just leave their laptop and bags at tables at coffee shop and they go up and order there coffee. It takes only seconds before someone comes and steal their stuff.
You were the one whole took those lap tops and coffee I bet.
I leave stuff, sometimes. I leave it in sight and have already gaged the athletic prowless of nearby persons. I bait people all the time. FAFO.
it's not crazy in my country
Seriously! I will also never understand those same people can also ask complete strangers to watch their stuff for them.
Then again, I’ve been asked a few times at a Barnes&Noble to watch said stuff.
I’ve had all of my butt plugs stolen leaving them on a table at coffee shops over the years.
My grandad had his wallet pickpocketed in New York a few years ago and lost $500 in cash and his credit cards. Sadly they weren’t caught but my grandad is much more cautious about carrying a lot of cash in public.
😂 Your grandad learned a lesson....he was old enough to know better
Yea if you’re a tourist coming to New York, it’s better to get one of those lanyards and tuck it in your shirt. I worked downtown and it’s only gotten worse. It stinks too
yo cool gamer photo
That’s why I wear a fanny pack facing my front. Some people may make fun of people wearing them, but at least nothing will be stolen from me.
@@rescue9810 that’s the best idea I’ve read in these comments so far.
They should sew a hidden compartment for the air tag and seal it inside of the wallet so that it can't be seen or removed. Just dropping it inside makes it too easy for the thieves to stick their hand inside and see it there.
She obviously opened the wallet, saw there was no money inside and only a tracker and immediately ditched it.
Definitely need more of this content! Love to see these people get caught.
I would steal the giant red circle, that looks pretty cool.
"Christmas is but a poor excuse to pickpocket a man" -Ebenezer Scrooge
If y’all catch her with the wallet, I think having your face plastered all over the news is the worst punishment anyone could get
She looked right at the camera, she was in on the gag.
I’ve never seen someone more excited to have their wallet stolen.
Thank you for not blurring her face! Why didn't you team up with law enforcement to at least actually catch her?!
She probably tossed the wallet within a couple of minutes.
The way she looked around like she knew she was being filmed 😂
Oh man, next time please put a note that says “we’re watching you…” or something she’ll have to look over her shoulder for if she continues.
i wish they put "good luck washing off the invisable ink" just to mess with her head.
Life changing information. I finally won’t have to suffer losing an IED while walking through the streets. Thank you inside edition.
This is WHY I keep everything in my front pockets, wallet, cell phone, keys, etc. Sometimes I would carry a "fake wallet" in my back pocket when I go to high risk areas... i.e., shopping, gas stations, dates, etc. The wallet has fake credit cards and fake counterfeit money. I'd have it in my back pocket just for the pickpocketers, and in case I get robbed.
I’d rather this than prostitution stings. There’s actually victims with this crime. Criminals have no shame.

People have no shame.
Wow u cannsee the lady's face
There's victims with prostitutes
I FOUND ANDREW TATE!!!
Imagine seeing your own mother 👩 on tv for stealing and you end up opening your Christmas present with the stolen wallet you saw on 📺 🎄💯🤣🤣
We lost a wallet in NYC during the holidays. Someone turned it in to NYPD with nothing missing from it. Thank you, kind stranger.
"Alright we just got our wallet stolen"
First time that sentence has ever been said with enthusiasm
You should have left a note in it saying "We recorded you stealing this. - Inside Edition" Maybe even give them the air date. 😄
"Tis the season to pick those pockets"??? I guess if i have to.
Pick my pockets if you'd like! 😉
Show a cop a donut, then tell the cop go make the arrest and you get the donut. Then the cop MIGHT start preforming tricks like a dog wanting a scobby snack.
Happiest guy ever to say “we got our wallet stolen”
Inside edition stay giving away stuff for free whenever they try to catch someone in the act. They hardly get it back.
Imagine how many of her friends (not anymore) and hopefully her work colleagues have seen this, sensational.
That’s why I don’t use pockets and have everything glued to my hand.
I wish I could have seen the look on her face when she realized the wallet was empty
You'd be surprised at how many people walk around with phones in back pockets, purses wide open, etc. Be careful out there!
Yeh I keep min in the back so it don’t fall out. Front pockets for girls pants suck. Too small.
@@Shastasnow stuff it in there then. Rather be safe than sorry.
So happy I live in FL. People here do not tolerate that type of behavior.
This happened to me on a vacation in NYC. Some guy bumped into me "accidentally" and said "my bad" and put his arm around me to stop his fall and took my wallet. Luckily this happened to ANOTHER friend of mine so just in case, I checked my pocket and it was gone. I was with my brother and we both caught him.
I think the biggest problem is the average person isn't aware of their surroundings.
*Grand total of ZERO dollars* in it. I love it! AND, we got to see her face 😂😂 I wonder if he even felt her behind him or was aware of which moment she was taking it.
I found a wallet at a store that had $5000 cash in it, we were going to give it in to the info desk, then a woman came up to us and asked if we found a wallet that was the exact details to the one we found, she was so grateful
5 grand? That’s FIFTY Franklins. How does a wallet with that look?
@@vondahe fat. It was a lot but I got a bit of money from it lol
@@chip736 I certainly hope so! 😊
Who carries around that kind of cash? If it’s lost or stolen, it’s gone.
@@evilsharkey8954 I think she was given it in cash... I definitely agree with you, either she should've put it in her bank account or taken a small portion of it..
I live in a small town (Somerset PA) but anytime I even go into Walmart, the closest mall anywhere or Johnstown for that matter, I always keep my wallet on the inside coat pocket and keep it zipped up. Always better to be safe than screwed.
Y’all should’ve of hid the air tag in a hole on the inside of the wallets fabric.
This is why I always keep my hand on my stuff
This makes me wanna stay in the house for my entire life
pickpocket took her phone... her eyes and smile took my heart
It's a shame some folks still result to stealing from innocent people like that. When it comes to needing money just ask if you interact with me. If the money's going towards something I can agree with of course. I work hard for my money which ain't alot at the moment, but that doesn't stop me from making generous donations, and those mostly go to those who I know who have made me happy.
Thank you for this comment, sir. It's refreshing to see some positivity, on CZcams 🙂 I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
@@rocko5766 you're welcome, and I appreciate the Christmas wish
They’re not doing it because they’re starving. Pickpockets do this professionally, same as the guys who go from car to car smashing windows and stealing stuff.
Didnt surprise me that lady took the wallet, she looks like a robber
what gave you that implication?

"Ol Diane's out there pickpocketing again"
Imagine the news crew decided to make a police report and the cop said it's just a trivial matter, or even blaming the victim that it's their fault for not being "aware".
You know what, that's a good content for news idea. Being undercover as a victim to make a police report and see how the law enforcer action and reacting to it.
Just another reason to protect yourself and be aware of your surroundings at all times
Not just an air tag, but an exploding air bag with dye, like banks have for robbers. They would've found her a lot faster.
I'd like to see that! 🌬
Hope she or her family/friends watches this Inside Edition video of stealing.
It’s good to see that not all common thieves, fit the usual stereotype.
The professionals usually don’t. My sister caught a guy in a business suit with his hands in her purse in Spain. If they look suspicious, people will suspect them.
That is why I always have a purse with a long strap. I put the strap over my head so that the strap is across my chest and that helps me keep my purse in front of me at all times.
I always wear mine crossbody, too. My travel purse has a stronger strap, a tight zipper, and a magnetic flap over top of that.
1.22 HE FELT IT COMING OUTTA THE BAG!
This is happening all over NYC .. You won’t get pickpocketed if you’re not clumsy .. period.
Don't understand how people can still be so vulnerable and stupid about their wallets!!!
I got my phone jacked in Barcelona back in sept. It’s ghetto everywhere clearly
The only thing stolen here, is my heart. That first girl who got her phone pickpocketted is BEAUTIFUL!
Reason number ten thousand for why I love Columbia and their inside pockets.
That’s sound advice at 1:56, keep your wallet in your front pocket instead of your back. I’ve been doing that for YEARS and people rib me for it. I just don’t get why more people do not do this.
Create a special pocket in your pants or shoes
I use empty film tubes or cigarette packets to carry cash
honestly im the same (when my pants actually get to have pockets... girl life rip) anyways, cant tell you how many times my husband has cracked his phone screen keeping it in his back pocket and yet still continues to do it.
That sure looks like a fun job
i got actually useful advice. use front pockets only or get one them bags that straps to ur front area. and always keep em closed. i do that and never had stuff stolen
Share her image all over social media 😲😂 someone atta know her!!
I'm about to go ahead and get a fake phone form the dollar store for them to pickpocket and as for a wallet I would get a fake money ad that disappoints everyone and then write "You though you did something didn't ya" lol ( Edit. everything is from the dollar store apart from the ad)
It makes me so mad that inside edition does these traps and DONT get cops involved
Why do you let them get away
Have a plain clothed cop near by to stop them
You just let these people get away
So angering
I always thought I’d feel it till it happened to me lmao! They pretend to bump into you and boom! You now have no wallet lol
You know there’s a big issue when the stores have to put up a sign that says beware of pickpockets
This is not new.. they been doin this for long time!
This is exactly why i dont carry my credit cards with me unless im gonna use it an i def dont take it to a crowded event. Maybe ill take 20$ but that’s it. I rather the thief take my wallet with my ID only inside. Its less a hassle to deal with later than my credit cards. An i always keep my wallet or phone in my front pockets i could never stand it being in my back pockets or sitting down on my wallet its uncomfortable lol
Then again I don’t own many cards
@@jayyli7204 good simple for you til actual cash goes away
This is why I always put my wallet in either my _inner_ coat pockets, upper _zipped_ pockets, or wear *deep-pocket* pants so that way I catch them before they catch my wallet!
13%=52%
I know the math doesn't make sense but it's mind-blowing how many Shaniquas do this on a daily basis and get to walk freely among us.
Ugh...brings back nasty memories from last year when I had my own purse stolen... All of my IDs were in there, too. The worse part? THE COPS DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Yuri what didn't the police d.
How was it stolen?
did you have any credit cards or anything inside? if it was just Ids theres not much you can do. my husband had his wallet stolen a few years ago, we were freaking out because he had not only his id, but his social securty card inside of it (he had just started a new job and they needed it for his paperwork or something idk). but anyways, we got lucky in the fact that the criminal didn't care for identity theft, just used his card at an applebees and then got caught at a footlocker red handed. apparently it wasnt the first time he had been to that footlocker and the clerks were suspicious of him using a card with a new name. they stalled him until the cops came and he was arrested.
@@lettus143 Luckily, I don't have any credit cards stored inside it. Just cash and all of my IDs.
It's our own governments fault! If our criminal justice system would actually slap a felony and some jail time on these crooks, they would think twice about committing the crimes period
That’s one part of the reason. But another part is when people steal because they’re poor. The law is not gonna scare them because stealing is the only way for some people to be able to feed themselves.
That is why helping to solve poverty is also important. If you ain’t poor, there’s less crime in general.
@Aj Cyrill Dy she look well off. Shes a kleptomaniac
Nah I don’t go outside I just stay home everyday
2:02 I preferred if they said “you better watch out, you better think twice, pickpockets may be coming to swipe”
Lol even better if they did a playful wallet lift while singing those lyrics! 😉
Gonne be seeing alot more of this considering whats happening at the US-Mexico border right this minute and been happening

She can’t deny it, her relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers could recognize her.
a true pickpocketer will never back down from a pocket.
Get a cross body bag, those lulu lemon ones work great. It frees your pockets and puts your valuables all in your line of sight. Been traveling for years with one, never had any issues. Being a big guy also, I’m sure people would be afraid of getting hit by someone double their size.
I promise you on all that I stand for absolutely nothing whatsoever will happen to her I swear wholeheartedly.
I pictured the criminals opening the wallet just to find a bunch of nightcrawlers and a handful of dirt
When I travel, I carry a "fake" wallet, with about $500 in Monopoly "money", a few "cardboard credit cards", along with a "Get Out of Jail Free" card! 🤣
Help yourself! 🤗
What a way to disgrace yourself. 😢😢😢
Everything is “So Bad” in the Bog Apple. It’s turned into a smelly sludge pool.
I'm wondering if one of her family members or friends or coworkers will go: "Susan? is that you on TV. Can't believe you're a thief?"
Anyone who would just blatantly steal from someone else for no reason doesn’t deserve to be alive
"Its the season to pick those pockets".. What kind of messed up opening line is that??🤨
Good one, but, in middle school we would put a quarter on the floor in the hall. Then pretend not to notice it as we talked. When someone would pick then pocket it, we’d pounce on them. They forgot to pounce.
