Well now, a legitimate opportunity to rummage around in the trousers of those wandering the streets of Detroit. It's certainly worth a crack I feel. Especially when the competition includes the likes of Vector, Aizlynn, Alabama and Benton. Top pick-pocketers all. Can't say I'm overly optimistic about my chances, especially having started somewhat on the late side, but what the hell, gotta be in it to win it and all that. And various other idioms.

Spuff strikes whilst the iron is hot.

On that note, I'll have my guy send over the quarter million. I look forward to seeing how we all get on. May the best man win. By which I hopefully mean me.

He grins at his fellow competitors and skulks off into the shadows, searching for that first bulging wallet that the current owner really shouldn't have any right to. Best to lighten their load for them.

She was about to leave when she hears her good friend JimmyNapoli..shouting about wasting all his money on the casino and booze. She shakes her head in disbelief and looks at him scornfully.

My my dear, does this mean you are done with all the hookers and drinks I have sent just the other day? You are just like your father...always gambling and tasting different menu she winks at him shen she says menu. But she knew that she will always like the man, hell he is like an uncle to her.

Well have fun in Detroit, though it isn't a sin city so please refrain from making it into something else.  :)

Quick update in the Pickpocket Party.

I won't give you names just current points.

1st. 22
2nd. 19
3rd. 16

We reach the final hour.

The Pickpocket Party is still raging and I must say it is fine battle unfolding any the top 3 will be announced shortly after the competition has ended.

So far only one eligible entry has been made into the Drabble, like they say you have to be in it to win it.

Only 1 elible entry? Jeez. If I hadnt spent the last 2 days stalking the likes of Aizlynn, Vector, Mikah, Ozan et al, I might have managed something to write!

Just wanted to say well done to all those Picking pockets and thanks to Detroit for this like Party.

I thought you may have spent time stalking me after the torture my Grandfather put your Grandmother through my dear.

benton smiles innociently

Oh my grandmothers journals show that she got your dad back for your Grandfathers stalking already, no need for me to further pain you with it!

Ahem, that wasn't exactly picking his pocket though, although all the visits to the clinic afterwards certainly counted.

Guiseppe walks out of the HQ

Well thank you for those that participated in the Pickpocketing and I must say what an event it was. 1st place was only guarenteed in the last few hours and 3rd place was stolen at the death. The results are as follows.

1st. AlabamaWorley 37 PPs
2nd. AizlynnLombardi 34 PPs
3rd. Vector 24 PPs

Thank you all again I enjoyed the drama that it brought. Your accoutantants should receive the money shortly.

I must say, that was so much fun! I'd like to thank Detroit for sponsoring this event and good job to all those who competed! You guys really made the past 48 hours eventful.

Congratulations Mrs Worley, a job very well done! Couldn't think of a more deserving person, you have some serious dedication.

And congrats to Vector! It's always an honor to compete against the well known pick pocketers of our world.


We must all do this again sometime soon, but not too soon... I need some beauty sleep.

OK results are in from the Casino, as you should be aware Bonasera took home the the BlackJack prize. The Slamming Slots event is still open as nobody has won it.

So we go to the Gambling Genius firstly this person came back from the dead in more ways than one. When the competition started they were heavily in debt but they have managed to work there way back to something respectable.

The_Undertaker $-4,659,000 Now $-492,000 which gives a gain of $4,167,000. $4,167,000 will be sent by my accountant.

We lured this one in slowly but surely started with a few wins but this guy went mental and lost it all in some spectacular fashion. Step forward Thementalist who managed to lose $6,998,000. So my accountant will send you $8,998,000.

I'd just like to echo the comments from Aizlynn. Thoroughly enjoyed the last few days spent in the Motor City. Delighted to have won, it wasn't easy as I was up against some real professional pocket pickers!

Congrats also to all those that won in the other competitions Detroit had to offer.

Mainly, thanks to Guiseppe for organising such a fun event that was clearly enjoyed by many!

Congratulations to Alabama on a fine and hard fought victory. I couldn't muster quite the challenge I'd hoped to on this occasion but Aizlynn ran you close all the way and it was a fine effort from the both of you.

To echo Aizlynn and Alabama, a whole hearted thank you to InspectorGadget and the fine city of Detroit and in particular to Guiseppe for running the contests that so many of us have enjoyed over the 2 days. I very much look forward to the next events you have to offer and certainly the next PP contest!
