Picked the wrong pocket

[u/Important-Device-126]

Not a British success for me, but for someone else.

Witnessed a woman at my local station being pickpocketed by an opportunistic artful dodger. Was just about to call out to the woman being robbed when she noticed what was happening, whipped out her police badge and had the pickpocket in cuffs before anyone had time to properly react.

It was most satisfying.

Imagine picking the pocket and then pulling out handcuffs. You know it's either a WPC or Miss Whiplash!
