Had the club not hosted an event -- Popcorn and Tommy Lee, I think was the name -- and instead just had girls dancing, I would have been more focused. There were no hips swaying, and that threw me off, LOL LOL LOL .....
come on bro, of course they were working as a group. that's a very typical set up. the whole time you were staring down the one guy he was probably just keeping you engaged, letting you feel froggy and keep some face, while his bredren was doing the lift. I'd lay odds on that. pickpocketing depends on distraction. some of the crews are actually a little hilarious- one team caught at wavs during a stageshow was a man and man woman crew- by that I mean one man was dressed like a woman. They were hosing people left and right and just got too greedy and being from out of town tried to fleece a sav cop. Definitely the wrong pocket to have your hand caught in lmao. Anyway they had about 50 empty wallets stashed with a wig and dress. They didn't have any of the cash, there was a third part of the team who walked off with that.

don't feel anyway, it's not exactly that you were the white guy or whatever, pick pocketing is an opportunists job, catch them all the while and they don't tend to discriminate.

i wouldn't go announcing you roll out with so much cash much less announce anything of the sort. I don't see why people would egg you on about it to be honest just to fan the trip report, please be smart. no trip report is worth getting pinched out of all your cash and worse, as ackee said discretion is the better part of valor. You wouldn't go onto a NYC travel forum and announce where and when and how you were going to be about the place would you? Like hey everybody, I get into town tomorrow and I'm going to hang at XYZ Bar (look for me on a moped) and I always have 700 bucks on me!!! Would you? No man...lol...anyone who did that you'd think was nuggin futz.

Also, most Jamaicans, like 99.99999999999999999999999999 with a couple more 9999999999s literally detest thieves and will just as soon put a chop in one as look at one. Just so you know...anyway am not saying you should have shouted them out for street justice, just saying discretion is the better part of valor in the very first place right?
