So I sneak up on a lady. She’s walking. And everyone’s on their cellphone. No one’s paying attention anymore anyway. And she had a pen in her coat pocket.’ And her coat was open, and it was flapping a little bit, and I thought, ‘Let’s see how good I am. If I can just get to that pen with two fingers…’ And so I snuck up on her. I was over her right shoulder, and I trailed her. I got my fingers in her pocket, very much like this [pointing towards his own pocket]. And I took the pen, and I slid it up, and then I dropped it on the ground. I didn’t want to steal it.’
