Iirc the article to which this is loosely referring was about how pickpockets were taken aback when American tourists during the Olympics would physically accost them after they pickpocketed said tourists and didn’t escape quickly enough. Which, you know… yeah? That’s a “professional hazard” of being a pickpocket. This should not surprise them.
I never heard anyone say you can’t stop a pickpocket.
