Pickpockets are almost always wimps. If they could strongarm people
into giving them money, they would.

I saw a waiter in Madrid chase and corner a bag snatcher, he
pulled a knife. never saw how it ended, hopefully the police
arrived, for all I know the "waiter" was an accomplice. Remember
thieves sometimes work in pairs, one takes the wallet and passes
it on. You don't know your enemies' strength when you confront
one man.
