One of those rare pleasures in life is the trip to the laundry mat...the smells, the noise, the weird people looking at your unmentionables...and the the occational hot chick that is doing her clothes who might actually talk to you. Its a American pass time!
But what few people have thought about is that the laundry mat and its variety of distractions is a great place to put in some work and make some money from the unsuspecting marks.
When people go to the laundry mat all they want to do is get their clothes done and be gone...and they fall victim to all of the sights and sounds that suround them, making them fair game. Obviously you can always pull the regular double team distraction on them...but thereare a few varitables that make working over a laundry mat different than anywhere else.
But it can be slightly intimdating to try and do your buisness in such a busy, loud place. To start off (if you are a beginer) you might want to start small by swipping articles on clothing before you make your move.
As always try to go for the lone mark, althought you can always go for someone with others...just make sure they aren’t watching you.
Parking Lot An oldie, but goodie...in many cases women don’t take thier purses into the laundry mat, yet leave their cars unlocked. Be sure to check the cars as you make your way through the parking lot, look for in plain sight purses and for odly covered lumps on the passenger side seat or the the floor.
Loose Money A lot of new pickpockets forget that what you are really after is the money...and there is plenty to go around at the laundry mat. Rather than have to dig out all of the money to use the washers and dryers most people will leave their quarter rolls or bills near their baskets or on the machines while thye wait for their laundry. They’ve done msot of the work for you, the rest is simple watch and wait. When they are distracted by the other machines or their kids simple walk past where they keep their money and put it in your pocket for safe keeping.
Counter Top Belive it or not there are some people who leave their whole wallets out on the counter top rather than have to dig for it every time they need money. Much like with the loose money all you have to do is wait for them to become distracted, or distract them yourself. Once they look the other way is all just a matter of taking the wallet and leaving the building. This phenominon works on both men and women, just keep your eyes open.
Change Machine Want to go for some good, old fashion lifting? Well wait until your makr goes for the change machine. You see this will do two things that will put the odds in your favore and the wallet in your hands...firt, it will shoe you where the mark’s wallet is (be it purse or pocket) and secondly after they are done the wallet won’t be in as tightly as it was before, making the removal easier. Simple wait in line behind them and then bump into them as they turn around, using that to dip their pocket or purse.
Restroom This one happenes more often than you might think...a woman is at the laundry mat and she has to go to the restroom. Rather than take her bag with her she either hides it in her basket or under her chair. Pretty stupid huh? Well it does happen and all you have to do is simply wait for her to go do her buisness before you do yours. Be subtle and only take the wallet, or if you aren’t that way simple drop the purse in your basket and simply leave.
A Whole Basket Worth So you want to go for the big haul...okay, here is how you do it. Simply carry a basket in with a small amount of clothes and then set up a distraction that will carry over (such as loud children or having a partener make a huge mess by dumping over a basket or spilling some detergant) and then quickly scoop up all money and purses you can grab, hiding them under the clothes while everyone is distracted. After that beet feet out the door, but not so fast that you’ll be noticed.
