I'm sure you already have Bruce Geller's 1973 film *Harry in Your Pocket*.
There's also Curt Bois' character who pickpockets unsuspecting targets in
Michael Curtiz' *Casablanca,* the pickpockets in Jack Conway's *The Unholy

of stolen wallets in Steven Spielberg's animated film *The Adventures of
Tintin *(2011).
