pick pockets are people who rob your wallats and stuff in public places. so when ppl say the above line it means that you have to be careful and alert in crowded places...

Answer 7

It means that if you are going to be in an area which is very crowded, you need to be very careful where you keep things about your person, things like purses, wallets, mobile phones etc. Pickpockets are very skilled thieves usually working in groups, and they will steal from you and you will not be aware of it until it is too late.

Answer 8

Let's say you carried a purse with you at a concert. Someone would trip you and say sorry let me help you up. While they are helping you they snatch your purse and run. That's why you should just hold tightly with your belonings. The world is a cruel place.

Answer 9

It means be careful of thieves who will sneak up to you and literally pick stuff out of your pockets without you noticing.

Answer 10

It means watch out because people will want to steal your things from you especially your wallet in your pocket

Answer 11

A pick pocket is a theif who steals from peoples pockets, so it means - Watch out for theives!

Answer 12

They mean to be wary of people that seem to "accidentally" bump into you and then "coincidentally" your wallet, camera, passport, and credit cards magically disappear.  INTO THEIR HANDS.

To protect yourself, I'd recommend wearing a passport holder, and put it under your clothing, so if pick pocketers do manage to get in your way, you have nothing to worry about.
