In the UK, Talk Talk is launching something new. Instead of pick pocketing it is called put pocketing. A former pick pocket uses his discreet skills to give back to people in the community. At optimal times for pick pocketing, he instead inserts money into their pockets and bags. Everyone he put pockets is pleasantly surprised, and when interviewed make the comment that they never noticed him behind them.
This new put pocketing makes me optimistic that people can change for the better. If the former criminal decided to change his ways and instead give money, can't everyone change? People can turn away from the negative things they have done, and even if they can not be reversed, they can at least give back. There is no way the former pick pocket could return money to everyone he stole from, but he was committed to give some money back. He had a great change in himself.
Here is the complete video of the Talk Talk story.
