God-send for the pickpocket.
God-send for the pickpocket.
(The termination. The beginning in N 18).
Division MURa which is engaged in catching of pickpockets,
It is small enough. Nevertheless employees of department work
With enviable productivity. And they detain not only
Pickpockets as operate on all city, special
Attention giving kriminogennym to capital points - to the markets,
To stations and large shopping centres.
Stray thieves almost did not come across earlier. Field investigators conducted
Special picture albums where pasted "portraits" of arrested persons
En face and in a profile. Thumbing through chubby differently-formatnye tables, I
Saw hundreds persons, on each of which the press of the laid
Time: post-war the fiftieth, the sixtieth, stagnant
The seventieth... Last years there are visitors is more often.
Hour "peak" - the most convenient period for the pickpocket. Though
Choose object it can when necessary. Taking a purse or
Purse, the thief never leaves it to itself. What for to risk,
After all the proof can spoil all, Therefore, vypotroshiv a wallet,
"shchipach" throws it on rails or throws on a platform. Sometimes,
Having seen own purse on ways, people rush downwards,
Risking a life and not guessing, that money there is not present for a long time.
As pickpockets admit, earlier to work it was easier.
Will deliver deficiency in shop the turn, an agiotage, money-means in
Pockets of citizens. Everywhere it is full of the visitors who have appeared in capital
With hard purses. And the salary gave out regularly. All
Knew, when a pay on tupolevskoj to firm, and when advance payment on
Meat-packing plant... Such days for pickpockets turned around
The present holiday. The socialism guaranteed firm earnings
Not only to legislative citizens.
Remember a sacramental question of detective Maxim
podberezovikova - the hero of a film "Be protected the car!": can
Whether the swindler to be more talented than the one who catches it? A film on this
The question has responded. In a life all is more difficult and more amusing.
Field investigators have told about one ward -
The skilful and successful pickpocket. Officially he worked
The assembler at the closed aviadesign enterprise in
Area of "Falcon". Job finished without twenty four and
Daily at five o'clock took away from a kindergarten a daughter. For
The child it went three stops by the bus. For now went...
To put it briefly, without another's purse the aviabuilder from
The bus did not leave. And has never got. It even
Have christened zaglazno "the Flying Dutch". Thus it had
Some previous convictions for thefts. How it put? Very simply.
The father-in-law, the veteran of war and work, could not be reconciled with the unearned
Incomes also "pawned" the son-in-law of militia.
Other virtuoso - an imposing handsome man on a nickname the Hook. It
"Inhabitancy" - the Red area where it extended the hard
lopatniki at foreign tourists. Its militia never
Caught. But the Hook regularly appeared on Petrovka, where it for
Illegal currency transactions those years delivered employees
KGB.
The omnipotent organisation too has suffered from actions
The pickpocket. However, not in absolutely usual image. Somehow time
Detectives of Moscow criminal investigation department have detained in "the Children's world" for theft of the toy
Machines... The released assistant to the secretary of committee
Komsomol of central body of KGB! "The demon poputal", - swore
It to operas.
In the summer thieves migrate on resorts of Black sea and caucasus.
Combine business with pleasure.
For field investigators with the experience such characters, as Savoska,
Volodja Poltava, the Cudgel, Essentuksky, Armen, SHorin, CHerkas,
Remind of time when affairs were raised upon theft
Three roubles, and victims it was not necessary to persuade to write
Statements in militia.
The chief of department of the organisation of job operatively-detective
Groups (so the division on struggle against the pocket is called
Thefts) Alexander Kartashev remembers, how its subordinates
Have detained the recidivist who has pulled out in a tram at the schoolgirl
Twenty five copecks. To the thief of a distance nine years. The law, it is severe...
Thefts - specialisation of one more group - deaf-mutes. At them
The handwriting, also they are guided basically by the well-founded
People. Operate about the central hotels, restaurants,
Casino. Having approached to object, mute start to gesticulate,
Low, catching at its jacket, and unostentatiously study
Another's pockets. The victim has not time to feel, as a wallet
Finds the new owner.
To catch the deaf-and-dumb pickpocket difficult. Depriving the invalid
One, the nature, as a rule, compensates defect to another.
Deaf-mutes are cautious. At them feelings of danger are well developed and
Collectivism. They work as group, expose
Countersupervision and in advance only it known gesture submit
podelnikam an alarm signal.
Besides at detention they pretend to be, that nothing
Understand (though the majority reads on lips), and demand
The translator. How here to leave position?
Detectives of the Department of Internal Affairs on underground protection told, that in 4th
Department of the operas, knowing language of deaf-mutes earlier worked. To it,
As to a lifesaver, colleagues from all addressed
Militian divisions of Moscow.
Of deaf-mutes are afraid an opera. More precisely, them it is unusual
Sensitive fingers. Being going to to work on "wood-grouses",
Detectives prefer to attach leskami to pockets the office
murovskie certificates. God helps those who help!
All pickpockets trading today in Moscow, conditionally
It is possible to divide on two groups. The first - young addicts,
Banishing stolen through a vein. They are content small and
Live from a dose to a dose. The second group - "born"
Pickpockets. Their earnings are stable, and many of them, having for
Shoulders some walker on a zone, "burn" tens years.
Detectives have detained recently the ancient acquaintance 1935
Year of a birth. He has gone through some generations operov. Those who
First time sent it on a zone, for a long time on pension. And it - still
In a system... Capture old "shchipach" has apprehended courageously,
porassuzhdal about degradation of morals, low qualification of "young growth".
There is among young thieves and such, who in what will not concede
To virtuosos of last years. Groups of pickpockets are very dangerous from
Nizhni Novgorod and Lvov. They work as brigades, on
Certain objects and routes. The Lvov swindlers practise
And abroad. They master for a long time the Prague underground. Is
The information, that they are going to to Arab Emirates. There
To work, of course, it is more difficult and more dangerous, but extraction on
The order is more.
Our pickpockets operate in Germany, Hungary, Poland.
For certain there are representatives of domestic school "shchipachej" and in
The USA. There, the truth, nalichki is not enough, more and more credit cards. But
umeltsev it does not stop.
Separate conversation about "shchipachah"-guest performers from Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. On their share
It is necessary three quarters of pocket thefts. But it not
The certificate of that "shchipachej" is less than others. Simply
Someone comes across, and someone works without punctures.
Nizhniy Novgorod "shchipachi", according to capital detectives, operate
More artfully and more professionally. Them catch less, but they steal
More than many other things.
The markets - an attractive place for pickpockets. Here
Come "on hunting" and laymans - "koshatniki" and
"verhushechniki". The first category steals bags at zazevavshihsja
Sellers and buyers. "Verhushechniki" purses suffice and
The wallets laying from above. Both those and others are considered as the lowest
Caste "kradunov". Last years an opera at all did not make
The report at detention "koshatnikov". Now a gain
"koshatnikov" it is unpredictable. Recently field investigators have caught
The swindler who has pulled down a trunk with vosemju by mink fur coats. When
To the mistress have returned stolen, she even sobbed for pleasure.
The capital department on "karmanke" has no analogues in Russia. And
By experience, and on volume of job it is non-comparable to the similar
Divisions of other areas.
Besides in small country towns
Specialised divisions on "karmanke" are not present. If
Detectives receive the information on occurrence "shchipachej" operate
The old, checked up method. The chief of search puts to the secretary
In a back pocket of trousers (on a slang such pocket is called
"Point") a voluminous purse also sends it in a city. For
"nazhivkoj" it is persistent field investigators follow. So proceeds
Till that time while the thief will not peck on a bait.
In Moscow absolutely other situation. Pickpockets from the Russian
Regions "work" in capital vahtovym a method, arriving on
Earnings in planes a business class. They live in the central
Hotels, walk at expensive restaurants, in what to itself not
Refuse.
