296 Stopped Pick-Pocket: Decoy Wallet To Lift Your Wallet in Buenos Aires!
Editor's Note: This is your 5th known stop in Buenos Aires! Read all of your prior stops in the city here. Claire's partner was wearing a pair of our Convertible Travel Pants!
Dear Clothing Arts,
We've had these trousers before and they're absolutely brilliant. Definitely stopped a pick-pocket attempt in Buenos Aires a couple of years ago, too.
We were at the San Telmo markets in Buenos Aires when my partner spotted a wallet on the ground and tried to find the owner. Someone did claim it, and she did feel something tug on her pocket, but obviously, they couldn't get the zip past the extra buttoned strap. In hindsight, perhaps the wallet was placed there to distract someone, perhaps not, but whilst she WAS distracted, she's quite sure someone tried to get into her pocket and failed as the zip was open to the strap.
Thanks again,
Claire T. from Huddersfield, United Kingdom

292nd & 293rd Stopped Pick-Pockets: Securing My Travel To South Africa!!
Editor's Note: This is your 8th known stop in London & 2nd for Johannesburg, South Africa. Tracy was wearing a pair of our Adventure Travelers.
Dear Clothing Arts,
Thank you for getting me the second order in time for my Africa trip. Heathrow and JoBerg pick-pockets were indeed thwarted.

72 Stopped Pick-Pocket: Jostle in Johannesburg, South Africa
Panorama of the central business district of Johannesburg, South Africa.
Editor's Note: This story comes to us from a friend of the company. Chris, a traveler from Brooklyn, New York, recently returned from a trip to South Africa with his Pick-Pocket Proof® Adventure Pants. He encountered a pick-pocket in the country's largest city, Johannesburg. Check out the full story below!
Chris and a group of friends were walking down the street after dinner and drinks and found themselves followed by some locals. Chris felt a brush and tug against his side pocket, and in the same moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw one of them getting dangerously close to a friend and reaching out towards a hanging shoulder bag, fingers inching under the flap. A third flanked them from the other side and was working his way into a back pocket.
Upon noticing, the group of friends and some helpful locals confronted the pick-pockets. Luckily, no one was injured in the altercation and all of the belongings were rightfully returned.
