He was getting on bus to get pickpocketed!! So mission accomplishedhe was looking at the other place for hours to get pickpocketed and nothing happened there so he got on a bus and it happened before they close the doors that's great for him isn't it!!!!??!
@@je5951 thing is it was his special lucky wallet because he got it back that many times, if it was just an ordinary wallet why would he like it that much

not true. If you are good at something you want other people to know about it. It's no different in the criminal world. That's why a lot of criminals leave their brand at a crime scene. If you are the best at something you want others to recognize it.

I’m from Naples and to everyone saying that this is fake, you’re wrong, they’re real thieves. Offering a coffee or a dinner is a sign of respect for us, and we’re also very emotional people, that “You make them laugh, I make them cry” part was really touching because it really emphasise how they’re just people like us, they just ended up in a bad phase of their lives.

Thanks for saying that, JohnRely. You're right of course, these men, though thieves, are just people. By the time they got old and wise enough to regret their chosen profession, they had no marketable skills and mile long records. They are warm people, like all Napoletanos we have met.
He is not desprate enough. They got in the business because they were poor and starving, he got in because of the challenge. Give them a fair way out and they will stop.
@@leonfa259 it must be a very very heart racing experience were u have to jump over that barrier in you're head that blocks you from doing that/being nervous even for just one moment
A word on our sweaty shirts seems to be in order, since many of you comment on this. Hey-this was a documentary! As in, reality! It was 90-some degrees during the shooting and often nerve-wracking. Hey-we were among criminals! Wearing hidden cameras! Our shirts were wired up with button cameras and microphones, so we couldn’t change them often, even though we had two identical shirts apiece. We also used a mix of POV cameras, like the very first GoPro, which were hidden in purses, guidebooks, and other things you might see us carry in the film. We also used eyeglass cameras and iPhone video. Our crew used two larger camera: a Red, and the old Canon 5D. Sometimes you can see a flash of these in the film. BTW, these very experienced thieves did not learn any new tricks at our dinner that would further their trade. What they know today they have learned over decades of daily practice. There’s nothing a stage pickpocket from Las Vegas could offer them. This film actually makes the pickpockets’ work more difficult. Take yourself (and the millions of other viewers). You watched the whole documentary, right? Now you know how pickpockets work. Think they can pull their tricks on you? I bet not!
Thanks - every few months or so somebody believes these guys are actors. Not so. Charming yes, and different to pickpockets in the rest of Europe, but all have served time. We appreciate your suspicion, because it means you are impressed and jump to a conclusion "they must be actors." Of all the thieves you see in this documentary, only one has aspiration to move on and become an actor. That is not easy in Italy, with a record. Read The Making of Pickpocket King here: bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-pickpocket-king-national-geographic-documentary/ I had wanted for over ten years to have these guys meet up together and show their chops. Only in Naples do you find pickpockets TODAY who can exhibit and do the riffling move on the inside of the pants lining.
Are they rich/poor? I mean, Angelo is apparently the most skilled pickpocket in the world, surely he has to be quite rich? Yet it seems as if many of them wants to quit as soon as they have enough money.
KingThiazzi Now that’s a good question. Very few pickpockets anywhere are wealthy. Some, in their prime make a lot of money, around US$150,000-200,000 a year but nearly always piss it away, or have a habit. Unless you know what to do with “the spread” you won’t be able to max out the cards, and it’s getting harder by the day with new security features on cards. Some European pickpockets, and Angelo is not one of them, target wealthy people and make more. They are the exception. Napoli is not exactly a center of wealthy tourists or locals using public transportation. Yes, Angelo has superb technique (and "chops") but he has a poor pool of victims, and no way of working outside his domain (for many reasons, and that's a different post). He is stuck!
***** I wish I wasn't so dyslexic. I mean really I meant the same thing but look at how simple I said it... yours perfectly. I honestly couldnt put it in my own words like that.
The guy that Bob finally met, was probably the best pickpocket alive today; and he knows it and takes pride in his craft. Even Bob said, he never felt a thing when the guy first took his poke. The guy has the smoothest hands for a cannon. Bob shouldn't feel ashamed at not wanting to go through with dipping into somebody's kick. That is a normal and honest feeling that most people share. These guys are street guys that have been doing this racket for years as a means for survival in a very hard world. What struck me is the revelation of Bob finally meeting the master of his trade and Bob's admiration of his very skilled, acquired vocation. Bob does this as a form of entertainment. These guys are practitioners of their trade, real-life criminals. It's like what the master dipper said toward the end of the documentary. "Bob, in your show in Las Vegas, you make the people laugh, whereas I make them cry." How very profound!
This master pickpocket is the quality Roald Dahl meant, when he wrote the short story The Hitch-hiker. That genius pickpocket stole the notebook of the police officer, who had written down name, addrress, car model, license plate, speed when speeding, where that happened. Like it never happened. Problem solved. th-cam.com/video/U9pIDfAYYxM/w-d-xo.html
The pickpockets were just stealing wallets, now they are being taught by the best how to steal watch worth $10k-100k. Wow talk about on the job training.
@@theekiddunknown6069 you're merely thinking of the difference between a leather strap and a metal strap. A metal strap almost always needs to be slipped off (which can also be easily taken) but a leather strap usually has a buckle on it. Even a patek philippe (well over 100k) can have a buckle.
To those who suggest avoiding Italy: Yes, Italy, be it Florence, Rome, or Naples, has lots of pickpocketing. Other large metropolitan European cities have similar numbers. We are fond of Italy as a travel destination, and consider it as safe as most other European countries. With simple precautions, you shouldn’t be pickpocketed while visiting Italy. Much of the world is more hostile today. Travelers need to understand where the threats are, and the typical crimes that can take place in their chosen destinations. So, do your homework in advance. Being pickpocketed can totally destroy a trip. All your money, maybe passport, phone, and camera gone in one horrible instant when you did not quite pay attention, didn’t really have your antennas up, and your guard was down. But pickpocketing is not a physically brutal crime. It is not a mugging, it is not an express kidnapping, it is not rape, or worse. Some other popular travel destinations have higher violent crime statistics than Italy does. It comes down to “traveler beware!” Shifting some of the responsibility over to the individual, just as hacking is now an issue of what to click and not to click in your incoming emails, and your health is a matter of annual check-ups and lifestyle choices. In fact “Traveler Beware” should be the mantra today for every tourist who chooses to leave his or her own cocoon of home security to plan a trip.
+BobArnoOfficial I really thought one of them with the bonding you had with them. Would of owned up and gave you your lucky (empty) wallet back. ;( Still enjoyed the documentary tho!
BobArnoOfficial you're right! to all of you guys, i'm italian and i can confirm, don't worry! i've been in a lot of famous cities and never been robbed! (you're awesome btw)
It's amazing how companies, banks and governments all employ the same tactics as pickpockets. Only difference is they tell you they do it, in a long winded document called "terms and conditions", nobody has the patience to read.
This really is beautiful. It's the truest expression of cultural exchange. Two entirely different types of people, brought together by their love and proficiency at a rare and transgressive skill, laughing and sharing and exchanging techniques. Of course pickpockets in Naples were going to get better after this. It was inevitable. It was also inevitable that Bob was going to get better. He's taking some of what he learned and applying it on the stage. They are taking some of what they learned and applying it on the street. That's fair. The most beautiful moment was actually where for a brief time Bob got to feel the fear of doing this "for real," and the "real" got to feel a bit of what Bob does- stealing for an audience, showing off your skills, and getting to do it without shame, or risk of jail. That was a true cultural exchange. And if a few more people in Naples get their wallets or Gucci belts snatched, that's evolution.
@Manic mcgee that is a beautiful comment, it truly is, and I am so glad that someone else saw it that way. I thought I was wrong somehow to see it that way, but you said it perfectly. It warmed my heart to see this happening. The respect and love they had for each other was wonderful. Oceans apart, different languages, different lives, yet they came together in true camaraderie. I salute you !
That dinner table scene was really something special. Having two sides of the same coin, despite their line of work, sit down and just enjoy a meal together is a rare and enviable feat. Despite the fact that they steal from others, that they express remorse towards doing so only educates people in that life is not always as black and white as most moral and legal authorities would have you believe. That despite a person's tough exterior, they have a heart beating in their chest just like us and that we all share more than we realize.
Funny thing is, I watched this documentary a couple of years ago, then traveled to Netherlands and still got pick pocketed within 48 hours of being there. First time it has ever happened and hopefully the last (it was a good learning experience)... My advice is never let your guard down for one moment.
It goes on in the crowds the entire Olympic Games, Then at the end is when they announce it to everyone and count which team took the most cash/valuables
John Estrella Jr. Yep amazing stuff. Its nearly an hour long but I've watched it at least three times... Maybe it helps that I love Italy as a country and the subject of this documentary was very fascinating as well. And the pickpockets actually seemed very likeable guys even though they're "real criminals".
My 70 year old aunt was in Naples just last Saturday and leaving a cruise ship on a bus to the rail station. She is very unsure of herself and was targeted by these spineless cowards in a gang of three. They stole her purse with money and cards then jumped off the bus like little girls. These pieces of shit ruined an old lady's birthday holiday, one she had saved up for 10 years to go on. God will look down on them and weep
Oh my goodness! this makes me so sad! I hope that your grandmother was able to enjoy her time there despite the incident. Those guys will get karma I'm sure of it
Bill Settle - I know you posted this a year ago but I felt I should tell you how sorry I am this happened to your aunt. Older people are an easy target, especially when they're out of their comfort zone. Maybe tourist services like Perillo Tours should set up tours that cater to older people that hires security people to look after them so this type of thing doesn't happen. Am quite sure there would be no shortage of senior citizens that would sign up for the opportunity to travel and be safe at the same time.
You guys have lots of weird assumptions and questions about the pickpockets in Naples and this film. Are they still working the streets? Why have the police not arrested them? Are they angry about the impact of the documentary? Some of you also wonder if it’s safe for me to return to Napoli now that the film has around five million views globally (in various language versions). Pickpockets dislike teamwork because they don’t trust their partners. It’s all about the snitch culture, and not trusting team members if one gets caught. Yet, they’re more likely to succeed when working in a pair or team of three. They certainly don’t need to collaborate as they all know the same moves, learned as children or teenagers and perfected over many years. It’s difficult to arrest a skillful pickpocket because they have spotters whose sole assignment is to watch for undercover cops; and in any case, a good thief can usually “smell” an undercover cop. Jail sentences are rare and always brief, since pickpocketing is a non-violent crime and the prisons are full of more serious criminals. So they’re right back out on the street, back to their usual occupation. And yes, many pickpockets recognize me because of this film -- they’ve seen one version or another -- and give me the finger if they spot me-or a high-five. The belt steal, a theatrical stunt, is not applicable in the real world. Pickpockets do not talk to their victims before an extraction, versus a stage pickpocket who distracts with dialog and mumbo-jumbo chatter. If you want more precise understanding of the world of street pickpockets, see our blog at www.thiefhunters.com
+BobArnoOfficial Its almost as if the camera was an apprentice the whole time, then at the end he proved it to the masters he had what it took. Good documentary, loved the pickpocket views. Very unique.
I used to do this to my dad when i used to be in arms to climb up the stairs when i had a fractured foot. After a week, i returned him his stuff to show him that his 7 year old is good at observing this Kinda movies n all. He was mad for a while but now 16 years later i earn more than he used to (as a producer). It's all good 👍🏻
There are many questions about the making of this documentary. You wonder if the thieves are really actors. You ask why they cooperated with us, and why they allowed their faces to be shown. We have addressed these concerns in previous replies. In The Making of Pickpocket King, bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-pickpocket-king-national-geographic-documentary/, you can read about the daily challenges we encountered and about the scariest moments. We never knew from one day to the next if the thieves would agree to be on camera and demonstrate their most guarded secrets. The thievery culture in Naples, Italy, is unique, since all the “players” are locals. In other big cities, pickpockets are mostly transients who come from many countries. It took me more than 15 years of visiting Napoli to build up trust. Yet, I had never met or observed any of the thieves in Pickpocket King, except for Angelo. Stealing a belt, which I do on stage in Las Vegas and elsewhere, is only possible in a theatrical environment, while I'm talking to the "victim." He becomes verbally bamboozled. In real street scenarios there is rarely communication between thieves and victims. It's all stealth or creating distractions and pretenses. No street pickpocket (versus a stage performer) will ever attempt to steal a belt, even if he knows exactly how to execute the technique. And very few travelers carry money folded into an actual money belt. If there is ONE lesson to learn from watching this documentary, it is to carry your valuables in a pouch under your clothes. Especially in locations known for pickpockets. Stow your things securely and you won't have to worry about pickpockets.

Difference between Bob, and the thieves is, is that Bob does it for fun, they did it to feed themselves once upon a time. When it comes to survival you'd be surprised the tricks you'd learn. Great Documentary!!!
What struck me most about this is the trust between Bob and the pickpockets in Naples. Hanging out with these guys could have been very dangerous for him. And accepting to all join hin in a restaurant could have been a dangerous trap for them. But the mutual appreciation of their shared skills gave them mutual respect and trust. True cultural exchange of a different kind.
Imagine how many people lost their documents, money and the amount of difficult situations they had to go through because of those criminals? And people are romanticising those punks…
I hope somewhere there's an alternate dimension where an evil Bob Arno (with a goatee, surely) exists. One day, Bob Arno and Evil Bob Arno will meet. Then, it is hoped, that the greatest showdown between pickpockets will occur. _And it will be glorious._
To me, reaching in a pocket or bag on a crowded bus isn't that impressive of "skill" Stealing someone's belt or watch off their wrist, now that seems almost impossible. These pick pocketers said leave wallet horizontal with open side down. That's good advice to know straight from the mouth of the criminals. My uncle travels a lot and said he was told to wrap your wallet with a couple of rubber bands and carry in front pocket. Rubber bands create a friction grip that makes it hard for them to slide out easily. Someone needs to make a exploding wallet kind of like the exploding glitter bomb packages you can buy for your porch to prank package thieves.
Im fairly certain the camera man doesnt have a boom mic out in the open. They put that sort of stuff away before going on buses and trains. The only things left are the concealed items, like glasses, book, button cameras, those things. So No, Nobody saw the boom mic and found another train.
I enjoyed this documentary and the warnings. But a couple of things I wondered while watching: 1. Please tell me you and your wife actually enjoyed seeing Pompeii and the other points of interest while you were lamenting not finding any pickpockets. 2. Did you not bring a change of clothes???
We enjoyed Pompeii and we adore Naples. The clothes… haha. We had to cut extra buttonholes in shirts for hidden cameras, so we did repeat a bit. You might like to know that we each had two identical shirts with the cuts. Hey-you can read about the making of the documentary here: bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-bambi-pickpocket-documentary/ All behind-the-scenes stuff.
+TheBadGuy You touched on a problem all across Europe when arresting a diversion thief. Usually, but not in all cities, you need a victim to report the theft and an arresting officer who saw what happened, and will testify that he saw the hand of the thief extract-not just attempt to extract-the wallet or purse. Exception: some tourist destinations, like Munich with its Octoberfest will arrest any thief who even attempts to steal, without the need for a victim to testify. Which is why, at these events, huge numbers of pickpockets are arrested over a ten day period. In some jurisdictions camera surveillance holds up in court.
they didnt actually film them stealing from someone and keeping their belongings. what we saw were staged and when it was real, they returned it to the owners
This felt like a video game😂franco was the helping character and all the other ppl were side characters and angelo was the final boss and he had dinner with all the bosses😂☠
My first reaction before watching this was, "go Bob! More power to you!" (in terms of catching the "bad guys/gals") And I still say "Go Bob!" but after seeing the Napolitani pickpockets, likeable middle aged men with good will, hearts and humanity who grew up working for the Mafia, and who say that they are ashamed of what they do "because maybe HE (God?) is ashamed of me", I long for them to find peace, God's grace, and a new life. Yes, I wish them God's best.
i really enjoyed this show as Bob connected with the pickpockets and they formed more tthan a camaraderie, even friendship - it was just beautiful. and it seemed like something of his happy spirit touched theirs. you never know, maybe one of them or all of them will become professional showmen someday, like Bob! I hope he returns to visit them, perhaps every year if he can afford it, because he's a senior, and those times he shared with the men were priceless jewels for all!
LOL I would show up wrapped in bubble plastic among that crew. Shit, not even the beer is left alone. And it was probably free for him in the first place!
At the end when they're all together, it would be funny if Chris Hanson came out of the back room and said "I'm Chris Hanson and we're doing a story on Pickpockets". :D
@@XxRaceRCxX Oh yeah. I fogot. Obama was the one who regularly didn't pay his contractors, bankrupted his casino (yet left with lots of money in his pockets), and scammed students with Trump University. My bad. 😜
Moral of the story, don't let people get too close to you. And yeah, the Italians really do have multi course meals. We had 7 at my Brother's birthday in Biello.
It isn't everyday but on Sundays and events we always have an antipasta (prosciutto,cheese, oiled veggies) to start, then pasta plate, then meat & veggies , then fruits & desert with espresso. You can never be on a diet in an Italian family.
Isopod The Merciless, I'm guessing just like runescape?! Hah!! I used to enjoy that game while I was littler, seems like I don’t have the time for it anymore.....
AMWF You’re laughing at the fact that a man’s wearing sunglasses in the middle of summer in southern Italy. The actual reason both him and his wife are wearing a very dark tint of sunglasses is because they need to be able to keep their eyes on their bag or pocket so they can spot the technique used by the thief without tipping them off by letting them see that they’re looking right at them.
Bob was born an artist whose interest is purely to make his art better as an artist, Kinda hate they make it seem like Bob wants to become a compulsive kleptomaniac pickpocket er on the streets. These guys are stealing to survive... it's wrong but would you rather spend night sleeping on the street for days without food or in a warm bed with warm grub in your belly? Also WHAT A TWIST ENDING!! X'D
It's a choice sometimes it's not a choice of morals or higher good, just survival(Although many thief's doing it only for the trill)... Making 450$ or even less in a pay check that barely makes you survive to pay bills and having actual food.... Or making 2000$+ on a "good day" by stealing unaware tourists... Dark side has always tempting things even if the odds of imprisonment. XD
I was on a cruise ship in the Med and Bob Arno was on teaching marks to not be marks. He told me that I was too paranoid to be a mark. I thanked him for the compliment. Bob's corporate pickpocketing. LOL!

A word on our sweaty shirts seems to be in order, since many of you comment on this. Hey-this was a documentary! As in, reality! It was 90-some degrees during the shooting and often nerve-wracking. Hey-we were among criminals! Wearing hidden cameras!
Our shirts were wired up with button cameras and microphones, so we couldn’t change them often, even though we had two identical shirts apiece.
We also used a mix of POV cameras, like the very first GoPro, which were hidden in purses, guidebooks, and other things you might see us carry in the film. We also used eyeglass cameras and iPhone video. Our crew used two larger camera: a Red, and the old Canon 5D. Sometimes you can see a flash of these in the film.
BTW, these very experienced thieves did not learn any new tricks at our dinner that would further their trade. What they know today they have learned over decades of daily practice. There’s nothing a stage pickpocket from Las Vegas could offer them.
This film actually makes the pickpockets’ work more difficult. Take yourself (and the millions of other viewers). You watched the whole documentary, right? Now you know how pickpockets work. Think they can pull their tricks on you? I bet not!
Sensei Bob how do I shirt ?
+BobArnoOfficial I enjoyed your documentary, Bob. When are you next in the UK?
+fatbelly27 We do not condone pick pocketing!
Sir i also what to Learn this skills
Darryl Correa AHAHAHA
Thanks - every few months or so somebody believes these guys are actors. Not so. Charming yes, and different to pickpockets in the rest of Europe, but all have served time. We appreciate your suspicion, because it means you are impressed and jump to a conclusion "they must be actors." Of all the thieves you see in this documentary, only one has aspiration to move on and become an actor. That is not easy in Italy, with a record. Read The Making of Pickpocket King here: bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-pickpocket-king-national-geographic-documentary/
I had wanted for over ten years to have these guys meet up together and show their chops. Only in Naples do you find pickpockets TODAY who can exhibit and do the riffling move on the inside of the pants lining.
Wow !! I wish I had your skills
I always did think they were actors Lol
This is very interesting to watch thank you ! :)
Are they rich/poor? I mean, Angelo is apparently the most skilled pickpocket in the world, surely he has to be quite rich? Yet it seems as if many of them wants to quit as soon as they have enough money.
KingThiazzi Now that’s a good question. Very few pickpockets anywhere are wealthy. Some, in their prime make a lot of money, around US$150,000-200,000 a year but nearly always piss it away, or have a habit. Unless you know what to do with “the spread” you won’t be able to max out the cards, and it’s getting harder by the day with new security features on cards. Some European pickpockets, and Angelo is not one of them, target wealthy people and make more. They are the exception. Napoli is not exactly a center of wealthy tourists or locals using public transportation. Yes, Angelo has superb technique (and "chops") but he has a poor pool of victims, and no way of working outside his domain (for many reasons, and that's a different post). He is stuck!
The difference between me and you: you make them laugh... and I make them cry. pretty deep.
+Nathan Fonder that hit me so hard..
Truth. Very deep.
it's not that deep
apdolie sarge pretty deep considering his life, it shows that he cares and knows its wrong.
***** I wish I wasn't so dyslexic.
I mean really I meant the same thing but look at how simple I said it... yours perfectly.
I honestly couldnt put it in my own words like that.
The guy that Bob finally met, was probably the best pickpocket alive today; and he knows it and takes pride in his craft. Even Bob said, he never felt a thing when the guy first took his poke. The guy has the smoothest hands for a cannon. Bob shouldn't feel ashamed at not wanting to go through with dipping into somebody's kick. That is a normal and honest feeling that most people share. These guys are street guys that have been doing this racket for years as a means for survival in a very hard world. What struck me is the revelation of Bob finally meeting the master of his trade and Bob's admiration of his very skilled, acquired vocation. Bob does this as a form of entertainment. These guys are practitioners of their trade, real-life criminals. It's like what the master dipper said toward the end of the documentary. "Bob, in your show in Las Vegas, you make the people laugh, whereas I make them cry." How very profound!
This master pickpocket is the quality Roald Dahl meant, when he wrote the short story The Hitch-hiker. That genius pickpocket stole the notebook of the police officer, who had written down name, addrress, car model, license plate, speed when speeding, where that happened. Like it never happened. Problem solved.

The pickpockets were just stealing wallets, now they are being taught by the best how to steal watch worth $10k-100k. Wow talk about on the job training.
A watch worth 10k-100k? Try 100 times less :p
Most watches that price dont come off like cheap ones, like most rolexs the bands don’t unclip so you have to slide off like a ring
@@theekiddunknown6069 you're merely thinking of the difference between a leather strap and a metal strap. A metal strap almost always needs to be slipped off (which can also be easily taken) but a leather strap usually has a buckle on it. Even a patek philippe (well over 100k) can have a buckle.

To those who suggest avoiding Italy:
Yes, Italy, be it Florence, Rome, or Naples, has lots of pickpocketing. Other large metropolitan European cities have similar numbers. We are fond of Italy as a travel destination, and consider it as safe as most other European countries. With simple precautions, you shouldn’t be pickpocketed while visiting Italy.
Much of the world is more hostile today. Travelers need to understand where the threats are, and the typical crimes that can take place in their chosen destinations. So, do your homework in advance. Being pickpocketed can totally destroy a trip. All your money, maybe passport, phone, and camera gone in one horrible instant when you did not quite pay attention, didn’t really have your antennas up, and your guard was down.
But pickpocketing is not a physically brutal crime. It is not a mugging, it is not an express kidnapping, it is not rape, or worse. Some other popular travel destinations have higher violent crime statistics than Italy does.
It comes down to “traveler beware!” Shifting some of the responsibility over to the individual, just as hacking is now an issue of what to click and not to click in your incoming emails, and your health is a matter of annual check-ups and lifestyle choices. In fact “Traveler Beware” should be the mantra today for every tourist who chooses to leave his or her own cocoon of home security to plan a trip.
+BobArnoOfficial I really thought one of them with the bonding you had with them. Would of owned up and gave you your lucky (empty) wallet back. ;( Still enjoyed the documentary tho!
But he did get it back, the sound guy had it the entire time.
Jolken Did I really miss that?
to me it would be common sense not to carry cash in a foreign country that's my way of thinking even before watching this ( my first time watching)
BobArnoOfficial you're right! to all of you guys, i'm italian and i can confirm, don't worry! i've been in a lot of famous cities and never been robbed! (you're awesome btw)
It's amazing how companies, banks and governments all employ the same tactics as pickpockets. Only difference is they tell you they do it, in a long winded document called "terms and conditions", nobody has the patience to read.
Well, randomly ran into this video, can't say i was disappointed. Informative and fun look into the world. Could watch mroe of this stuff.
A great documentary in my opinion; not biased, not afraid to discuss the ethical implications of what he's doing, and not too glam-ed up for TV.
I watch this documentary every year, and it's still fantastic
This really is beautiful. It's the truest expression of cultural exchange. Two entirely different types of people, brought together by their love and proficiency at a rare and transgressive skill, laughing and sharing and exchanging techniques. Of course pickpockets in Naples were going to get better after this. It was inevitable. It was also inevitable that Bob was going to get better. He's taking some of what he learned and applying it on the stage. They are taking some of what they learned and applying it on the street. That's fair. The most beautiful moment was actually where for a brief time Bob got to feel the fear of doing this "for real," and the "real" got to feel a bit of what Bob does- stealing for an audience, showing off your skills, and getting to do it without shame, or risk of jail. That was a true cultural exchange. And if a few more people in Naples get their wallets or Gucci belts snatched, that's evolution.
Love ALL you said here , Maniac Mcgee ❤👌🏴
Ah yes, group crime. So beautiful
Are you taking the piss? 😂
@Manic mcgee that is a beautiful comment, it truly is, and I am so glad that someone else saw it that way. I thought I was wrong somehow to see it that way, but you said it perfectly. It warmed my heart to see this happening. The respect and love they had for each other was wonderful. Oceans apart, different languages, different lives, yet they came together in true camaraderie. I salute you !
you will have a different perspective of this so called cultural exchange once you lose something valuable to thieves. trust me I know
I remember watching this a few years ago, and it never gets old.
Even the thieves have a certain charm, although I certainly dislike their occupation.
A Sicilian once told me that a Neapolitan can steal the soles off your shoes while you are wearing them
That dinner table scene was really something special. Having two sides of the same coin, despite their line of work, sit down and just enjoy a meal together is a rare and enviable feat. Despite the fact that they steal from others, that they express remorse towards doing so only educates people in that life is not always as black and white as most moral and legal authorities would have you believe. That despite a person's tough exterior, they have a heart beating in their chest just like us and that we all share more than we realize.
I agree ! It was such a wonderful thing to see. You said it perfectly !
Funny thing is, I watched this documentary a couple of years ago, then traveled to Netherlands and still got pick pocketed within 48 hours of being there. First time it has ever happened and hopefully the last (it was a good learning experience)... My advice is never let your guard down for one moment.
Sorry bout that
HOLY SHOT UR PICK IS MY PIC FOR ME ON MY PHONE LOL FOR MY VOICEMAIL

wow, i loved this documentary.. one of the best I've seen..
John Estrella Jr. Yep amazing stuff. Its nearly an hour long but I've watched it at least three times... Maybe it helps that I love Italy as a country and the subject of this documentary was very fascinating as well. And the pickpockets actually seemed very likeable guys even though they're "real criminals".
John Estrella Jr. So good right classic
This was the best documentary I ever watched, it gave me a lot of respect for the people I hate!
My 70 year old aunt was in Naples just last Saturday and leaving a cruise ship on a bus to the rail station. She is very unsure of herself and was targeted by these spineless cowards in a gang of three. They stole her purse with money and cards then jumped off the bus like little girls. These pieces of shit ruined an old lady's birthday holiday, one she had saved up for 10 years to go on. God will look down on them and weep
Oh my goodness! this makes me so sad! I hope that your grandmother was able to enjoy her time there despite the incident. Those guys will get karma I'm sure of it
Bill Settle - I know you posted this a year ago but I felt I should tell you how sorry I am this happened to your aunt. Older people are an easy target, especially when they're out of their comfort zone. Maybe tourist services like Perillo Tours should set up tours that cater to older people that hires security people to look after them so this type of thing doesn't happen. Am quite sure there would be no shortage of senior citizens that would sign up for the opportunity to travel and be safe at the same time.
Lol
Rob Robasd savage lmaoo
Bill Settle who the fuck doesn't watch over their 70 year old grandmother knowing she has important things in a place where pickpockets thrive
Man this is so wholesome he was actually just trying to find himself.
27:20 - “I’m always wondering, when I’m walking, can I or can I not get into that pocket?”
Some deep shit right there.
At the start of this program I thought this guy was going there to help stop thieves but it seemed he went there to feed his own ego.
Feed them*
You guys have lots of weird assumptions and questions about the pickpockets in Naples and this film. Are they still working the streets? Why have the police not arrested them? Are they angry about the impact of the documentary?
Some of you also wonder if it’s safe for me to return to Napoli now that the film has around five million views globally (in various language versions).
Pickpockets dislike teamwork because they don’t trust their partners. It’s all about the snitch culture, and not trusting team members if one gets caught. Yet, they’re more likely to succeed when working in a pair or team of three. They certainly don’t need to collaborate as they all know the same moves, learned as children or teenagers and perfected over many years.
It’s difficult to arrest a skillful pickpocket because they have spotters whose sole assignment is to watch for undercover cops; and in any case, a good thief can usually “smell” an undercover cop. Jail sentences are rare and always brief, since pickpocketing is a non-violent crime and the prisons are full of more serious criminals. So they’re right back out on the street, back to their usual occupation.
And yes, many pickpockets recognize me because of this film -- they’ve seen one version or another -- and give me the finger if they spot me-or a high-five.
The belt steal, a theatrical stunt, is not applicable in the real world. Pickpockets do not talk to their victims before an extraction, versus a stage pickpocket who distracts with dialog and mumbo-jumbo chatter. If you want more precise understanding of the world of street pickpockets, see our blog at www.thiefhunters.com
Do you know Apollo Robin's way of pick pocketing.
I will put Sarin ( a deathly chemical) in my wallet and let them die. 😈
+BobArnoOfficial Its almost as if the camera was an apprentice the whole time, then at the end he proved it to the masters he had what it took. Good documentary, loved the pickpocket views. Very unique.

He was mad for a while but now 16 years later i earn more than he used to (as a producer). It's all good 👍🏻
There are many questions about the making of this documentary. You wonder if the thieves are really actors. You ask why they cooperated with us, and why they allowed their faces to be shown. We have addressed these concerns in previous replies. In The Making of Pickpocket King, bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-pickpocket-king-national-geographic-documentary/, you can read about the daily challenges we encountered and about the scariest moments. We never knew from one day to the next if the thieves would agree to be on camera and demonstrate their most guarded secrets.
The thievery culture in Naples, Italy, is unique, since all the “players” are locals. In other big cities, pickpockets are mostly transients who come from many countries. It took me more than 15 years of visiting Napoli to build up trust. Yet, I had never met or observed any of the thieves in Pickpocket King, except for Angelo.
Stealing a belt, which I do on stage in Las Vegas and elsewhere, is only possible in a theatrical environment, while I'm talking to the "victim." He becomes verbally bamboozled. In real street scenarios there is rarely communication between thieves and victims. It's all stealth or creating distractions and pretenses. No street pickpocket (versus a stage performer) will ever attempt to steal a belt, even if he knows exactly how to execute the technique. And very few travelers carry money folded into an actual money belt.
If there is ONE lesson to learn from watching this documentary, it is to carry your valuables in a pouch under your clothes. Especially in locations known for pickpockets. Stow your things securely and you won't have to worry about pickpockets.

Difference between Bob, and the thieves is, is that Bob does it for fun, they did it to feed themselves once upon a time. When it comes to survival you'd be surprised the tricks you'd learn. Great Documentary!!!
i never thought Stanlee is a sideline pickpocket before. (R.I.P)
Stupid dumbass
Thats captain america you idiot
What you looking At r/woooosh
Watch as bob Arno assembles the newest mob family of pickpockets
What struck me most about this is the trust between Bob and the pickpockets in Naples. Hanging out with these guys could have been very dangerous for him. And accepting to all join hin in a restaurant could have been a dangerous trap for them. But the mutual appreciation of their shared skills gave them mutual respect and trust. True cultural exchange of a different kind.
Do you really think they trusted each other? That just shows you how good they are.
Lesson Learned : pickpockets are awesome. So kids, you better start your training of PICKPOCKETING!

I hope somewhere there's an alternate dimension where an evil Bob Arno (with a goatee, surely) exists. One day, Bob Arno and Evil Bob Arno will meet.
Then, it is hoped, that the greatest showdown between pickpockets will occur.
_And it will be glorious._
They'd leave with eachothers wallets like nothing even happened.
Jamie Miller actually Our deminsion's Bob Arno would try to talk to him while being stolen blind because Evil Arno has a lifetime of street practice.
Put a mouse trap in the bag and they’ll get a nice surprise 👍
Hair I wonder if they make exploding wallets?
Ah god dammit get that hair off my screen. I tried to blow that off my phone for like 5 seconds
“I don’t think he has the balls” 😂😂😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA hilarious XD
what a great watch...found myself smiling all the way through it!
To me, reaching in a pocket or bag on a crowded bus isn't that impressive of "skill"
Stealing someone's belt or watch off their wrist, now that seems almost impossible.
These pick pocketers said leave wallet horizontal with open side down. That's good advice to know straight from the mouth of the criminals.
My uncle travels a lot and said he was told to wrap your wallet with a couple of rubber bands and carry in front pocket. Rubber bands create a friction grip that makes it hard for them to slide out easily.
Someone needs to make a exploding wallet kind of like the exploding glitter bomb packages you can buy for your porch to prank package thieves.
keep money in loose coins easy carrry 10 in each pocket.
Hmmm... Shall Mark Rober introduce himself or do you already know?
After 2 hours on that train there wasn't a single thief! 2 hours wasted!
Well please excuse us if we aren't all pickpocketers, truly sorry homie. (?)
Im fairly certain the camera man doesnt have a boom mic out in the open. They put that sort of stuff away before going on buses and trains. The only things left are the concealed items, like glasses, book, button cameras, those things. So No, Nobody saw the boom mic and found another train.
Ya no boom mic but him shouting "wow no pick pockets yet" after 30 min probably didn't help. If it was a pickpocket they knew not to try it

I enjoyed this documentary and the warnings. But a couple of things I wondered while watching: 1. Please tell me you and your wife actually enjoyed seeing Pompeii and the other points of interest while you were lamenting not finding any pickpockets. 2. Did you not bring a change of clothes???
We enjoyed Pompeii and we adore Naples. The clothes… haha. We had to cut extra buttonholes in shirts for hidden cameras, so we did repeat a bit. You might like to know that we each had two identical shirts with the cuts. Hey-you can read about the making of the documentary here: bobarno.com/thiefhunters/bob-arno-bambi-pickpocket-documentary/ All behind-the-scenes stuff.
Now a days guys wear such tight pants it seems almost impossible to get pickpocketed
Lmao
If the pants are tight they cut it open with a razor blade
@@Goratek would people not feel that?
@@MyPussyBleeding-rn1mw yes. Thats what they do here in Philippines
You sound like a Pickpocket yourself. Haha
so im guessing these guys are in jail now with all this evidence??
+TheBadGuy You touched on a problem all across Europe when arresting a diversion thief. Usually, but not in all cities, you need a victim to report the theft and an arresting officer who saw what happened, and will testify that he saw the hand of the thief extract-not just attempt to extract-the wallet or purse. Exception: some tourist destinations, like Munich with its Octoberfest will arrest any thief who even attempts to steal, without the need for a victim to testify. Which is why, at these events, huge numbers of pickpockets are arrested over a ten day period. In some jurisdictions camera surveillance holds up in court.
It doesn't look like it
+BobArnoOfficial you had filmed evidence, that is enough
well hopefully mr bad guy
they didnt actually film them stealing from someone and keeping their belongings. what we saw were staged and when it was real, they returned it to the owners
This felt like a video game😂franco was the helping character and all the other ppl were side characters and angelo was the final boss and he had dinner with all the bosses😂☠
Bob Arno reminds me of Sully from Uncharted
Tee Rex omg yes 😲
That is creepy comment I just beat uncharted 3 ..likenliterally a hour ago
My first reaction before watching this was, "go Bob! More power to you!" (in terms of catching the "bad guys/gals") And I still say "Go Bob!" but after seeing the Napolitani pickpockets, likeable middle aged men with good will, hearts and humanity who grew up working for the Mafia, and who say that they are ashamed of what they do "because maybe HE (God?) is ashamed of me", I long for them to find peace, God's grace, and a new life. Yes, I wish them God's best.
They make it sound like pickpockets are all part of a secret society working together
😂
They are now.
i really enjoyed this show as Bob connected with the pickpockets and they formed more tthan a camaraderie, even friendship - it was just beautiful. and it seemed like something of his happy spirit touched theirs. you never know, maybe one of them or all of them will become professional showmen someday, like Bob! I hope he returns to visit them, perhaps every year if he can afford it, because he's a senior, and those times he shared with the men were priceless jewels for all!

The actual reason both him and his wife are wearing a very dark tint of sunglasses is because they need to be able to keep their eyes on their bag or pocket so they can spot the technique used by the thief without tipping them off by letting them see that they’re looking right at them.

Bob was born an artist whose interest is purely to make his art better as an artist, Kinda hate they make it seem like Bob wants to become a compulsive kleptomaniac pickpocket er on the streets.
These guys are stealing to survive... it's wrong but would you rather spend night sleeping on the street for days without food or in a warm bed with warm grub in your belly?
Also WHAT A TWIST ENDING!! X'D
It's a choice sometimes it's not a choice of morals or higher good, just survival(Although many thief's doing it only for the trill)...
Making 450$ or even less in a pay check that barely makes you survive to pay bills and having actual food....
Or making 2000$+ on a "good day" by stealing unaware tourists...
