Heard a funny story the other day from an American who had been traveling...
He got on a train and stepped into his compartment. Two guys joined him and one offered to help him lift his luggage onto the overhead rack. As they were lifting, his helper 'accidentally' dropped his end, making the traveler bend over to catch it. After the luggage was up, the two men said "oh, we're in the wrong compartment" and left. The traveller went to sit down and noticed that his cell phone, which had been in his back pocket, was now sitting on the seat across from him. The second man had snagged it out of his back pocket when he was lifting his suitcase and he never even felt it. Fortunately his wallet was in his front pocket and was untouched. He laughed about later because he keeps a very cheap/low tech phone and apparently the pickpocket was able to tell that in the brief moment when he lifted it and then rejected it!
