Thought I'd give you guys the heads up on an article I thought would be of interest (given all of our recent talk about pickpocketing), published earlier this morning by Reuters.
Visitors to London always have to be on the look out for pickpockets, but now there's another, more positive phenomenon on the loose - '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.
Full info on the story can be found here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090819/od_nm/us_britain_putpockets
Feel free to discuss!
