An Introduction to Snatch Theft
Snatch theft is by far the easiest form of theft that exists and is where most thieves begin their careers. It is similar to picking pockets but it requires no skill whatsoever. Snatch theft is simply opportunistic pick pocketing where you use natural distractions to your advantage. It is all about not being seen and taking an easy snatch whenever the opportunity presents itself. You have to hit hard and fast and then fade away. The bonus of snatch theft is that you can steal purses, wallets, cell phones, i-pods, or even laptops without ever making contact with a mark.
Finding a Mark
This is far easier than many people think it is. It is easier to target women because they are more likely to leave their purses or other objects unattended. Whenever a person becomes distracted and turns their back on their belongings they become a mark. If you keep your eyes open you are sure to see a distracted person whom you can exploit. You can find a mark almost anywhere you look. Places like restaurants, offices, and schools are perfect places to find a mark. Once you find someone you may have to wait for the perfect opportunity to steal from them but you usually don’t have to wait long. You can wait until they are engrossed in a conversation, book, or newspaper. Maybe they’re talking on their cell phone or just staring off into space. The plus is that the opportunity can show itself at any time.
Techniques
Like I said before it isn’t hard to find a mark. After you find one and they are sufficiently distracted, there really isn’t much technique involved. Simply walk up behind the person when their back is turned and rummage through their purse or bag. If you think the purse/bag you’re targeting will take you more than a few seconds to open and it is in the mark’s line of sight then forget about it. It is better to wait an extra hour to find a new mark than to chance getting caught.
Snatch Theft Situations
The following are only a few of the dozens of situations where snatch theft techniques can be employed.
The most obvious place to grab something is when the mark leaves their bag/purse unattended in their car. For example, a woman gets out of their car and only takes their wallet with them into the gas station to buy gas. They leave the car unlocked because they know they will only be gone a minute. This is the perfect time to strike. Grab the purse, which will most likely have her cell phone and maybe some extra cash, and check the rest of the car. Then just run off. You could also stake out a parking lot with a lot of cars and check in the windows to see if there are any valuables in there. Many people use the same “I’ll only be gone for a minute” logic and will leave the doors unlocked or a window down.
The above situation can also apply to an office building. In a place where dozens of people work there are bound to be some empty and unlocked rooms. Simply wander the hall and find one of these rooms. First check the desk for a purse or other valuables. If the person has a laptop than you can simply grab it and walk out of the building. You may want to put it in a carrying case first but that is up to you. Never hit the same office building twice because people will most likely recognize you when you come back.
This is one for people still in school. Many people leave their lockers unlocked all the time (or turn their backs on them while they’re open) and this is an ideal snatch theft situation. Make sure the hallway is empty and take your time to go through the locker. Look for money or electronics as they’re usually the most valuable objects in a locker. The best lockers to hit are those in a gym locker room. Just ask to go to the bathroom during a class and sneak into the locker room. Some schools don’t lock their locker room doors or the lockers inside. Since everyone has to change for gym class the lockers are almost guaranteed to be full of things like wallets, phones, and i-pods. If the lockers are locked there will still be backpacks lying on the floor which you can go through. If you do this than make sure you get everything you can because odds are the will start locking the room after it happens once.
Unfortunately, even if you hit ten lockers you may not get that much because many kids, especially in lower grades, don’t have jobs and therefore don’t carry much money on them. The only people who are likely to carry a decent amount of money in school are the teachers. Luckily they’re as easy to hit as students. A teacher may leave their classroom ten times a day and they usually don’t take their personal things with them. Just stand in the hallway near a teacher’s room and the second they leave go after their bags. The bags will either be on the floor in plain view, in the bottom desk drawer, or in the closet. If you take the whole purse then make sure you get rid of it quickly. In the U.S. children in school have no real privacy rights and the school’s resource officer can search your possessions at will so make sure you get rid of any incriminating evidence.
Another excellent opportunity for a snatch thief presents itself in a department or grocery store. As many people know, most women shop by themselves. This makes them ideal targets for thieves. They will usually put their purse in the basket and wander around the store looking for items. Anytime they decide to turn away from their basket to look at a shelf is the perfect time to strike. Simply run up behind the woman and grab her purse out of the basket. If you’re lucky she won’t notice but more than likely she will. If and when she does discover it missing she will probably began screaming. If you’re running through a store carrying a purse you are definitely going to arouse suspicion so put it in your own bag or under your jacket as soon as you can. You should also exit the store rather than looking for another mark because it isn’t worth the risk of being caught.
