A crime epidemic.
Everyday over seventeen hundred of us
have something taken from our bags or pocket
This is partly due to the huge number of
people now carrying smartphones and
tablets.
This elderly woman on the London
Underground among those hundreds daily unaware
that they are being robbed, so charity crime stoppers
came up with an innovative awareness campaign,
Rather than picking people's pockets,
the experts were trying to put something IN instead!
Each leaflet was designed to look like
something of value, An iPad,
a wallet and a smart-phone.
Nobody thinks they're gonna be a victim
of crime until it happens to them,
so rather than put leaflets onto people's hands
our team put them directly onto people's bags
and pockets.
Using reformed criminals and magicians used the slight of hand with no
shortage of success.

Were you aware that we put that on your
bag?
And it's the same compartment that your
laptop's in.
Do you think that if we can put that in
your bag - do you think that we can take something
out?
You definitely can
Instant results!
-You know what? you've got me
there. Oh my god, cheeky, you've got
me there!
and surprising how little people were
aware of what was happening behind
them or even in their own pockets, leaving many
puzzled at finding a little something extra
in their bags or pockets.
Traditionally posters are used to highlight
the problem in high risk areas
but sometimes human nature means we
can make the matters worse,
as we highlight our own valuables to
potential thieves.
