I've "made" quite a few potential pickpockets. I've watched these guys traveling through trains/ circling marks on Michigan Ave. For me, it's pretty easy to identify them by the way they flit through people and then zero-in on the easy mark (e.g. the lady with the bucket style purse or the guy with the wallet bulging from his back pocket). When I spot them, I try to stare them down and when they see me making eye contact they usually flee. I'm sure they think I'm an undercover cop or something!

Some tips on how they operate....
