The thing about pickpocketing is if I shake your hand, and lets hope you are a gentlemen, your mind and whole body will concentrate on my face, whilst this happens, I will take my index finger (if you have a watch on), push the leather part through that little leather piece
then I will pull and push very fast, this will happen in about 2-3 seconds all together, your mind will still be concentrating on my face and what I am saying since you can only concentrate on one thing at a time (scientifically proven) you will not feel me take your watch, I will move back and put my hands behind my back and put the watch on, that will take me about 5 seconds, suddenly, Omgbbq free watch...you don't feel it, so you can't punch me, if you do get caught you have 2 choices, I will not tell you those two choices though because if you pick pocket, I hope you get caught ^^
Oh and P.S. I have not been pick pocketed before
