Yesterday we learned about the rise of pickpockets in downtown Walnut Creek as more and more people dine and shop in downtown Walnut Creek now that the newly remodeled Broadway Plaza has reopened. That got me wondering, have you ever been pickpocketed? If so, what city did it happen in and did you report it to police? When I walk around in shorts or slacks it seems like it would be quite easy for someone to slip their hand in to grab my wallet. It hasn’t happened to me so far so maybe I’m lucky or it’s not that much of a common occurrence.
