This reminds me of the large road signs I've seen that warn against distracted driving
I always have a chuckle at those
Bring….
…back…
…Burma Shave…..
….signs!
KEEP
EYES ON
ROAD

Well great, now I can't see where I'm g-- 💥
This is sort of a real thing: in touristy areas they sometimes have signs warning of pickpockets, which causes people to check their wallet location and alerts the pickpockets where the wallet is for easier snatching.
That's why you gotta do a full pat down to throw them off.
Pretend your wallet is missing. Start freaking out and accusing others around you of stealing jt.
No sense trying to pickpocket the guy with no wallet
Also makes the actual pickpockets wonder if someone is working the area and better than them, since they didn't see it happen.
I just do the macarena every time I see the sign.
What do you do if you're naked, though?
I'd assume in that case one would be using their prison wallet.
Start digging. Make sure you clearly pull out a few hundreds and put them back in.
4D chess: the pickpockets put up the warning signs.
Fellow fish listener or do you just also happen to know that fact?
Fish listener? Like Aquaman?
Should have messy scotch tape, slightly tilted, maybe a corner peeled off
Caveat caveat
