In short, these pickpockets have become so daring that they're not even
afraid of getting caught. Also, once you catch them, they're not just gonna
stand around while you call the cops. If you try to physically restrain
them, some violence may result. Therein lies the quandary.

Yes, it isn't like in films, a friend chased a pickpocket (he is
a club runner) he found himself running deep into the back
streets, towards the thieves friends? Thieves often, maybe nearly
always, have knives.
