Bob Arno is a comedy pickpocket and criminologist specializing in global street crime, is the co-author of Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams While Traveling, and was featured in National Geographic’s Pickpocket King documentary.

- Why pickpockets are commonly targeted by terrorist organizations for radicalization efforts.
- How diversionary crime like pickpocketing has changed just like every other profession during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- How Bob is able to get close to real-life criminal pickpockets and learn their tricks of the trade without winding up in the hospital — or worse.
- The psychology of a pickpocket — what they’re looking for in an ideal victim and what you can do to ensure you’re not that victim.
- And much more…
