问题  
Are you forty years old and fat? Do you wear fine clothes? Do you look rich? If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.
    A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. [12]He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.
    The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. [13]Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.
    An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pick-pockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. [14]But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with much money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday of companies.
    Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. [15]After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.
