Ladies, ladies,

I am here today to warn you about the creature Raptor, word just got out he has done over 800 pickpockets! Meaning his hands have been everywhere. Good enough to hold the thus far highest achievement on this as possible.
This is a whole different kind of handjob once again than GiovanniBovine from New Orleans was referring to earlier!

Being over confident that I am I decided to take a rather akward bet with this leather like creature. We set our goal on 800 of the particular quick jobs, who ever got it first would win.
Well it was Raptor! He did them all.... Erm I mean he did it all!

When news reached us Raptor had beaten me a few people had something so say about it!


CrazyNine from New York "the single best thing about getting to OWP had nothing to do with the decreased chance of getting killed but the peacce of mind that I was finally out of Raptors reach."

Jynxed_Jade from New Orleans "His claws ripped my pockets all the way" she pauses a moment "And enjoyed it"

JimLevenstein from Chicago "Dec 16, '09 16:03 An unidentified assailant took $5000 from you. <--- Stop Freaking Stealthing Me!"

Deimna from New York " "I have sincerely enjoyed swapping monkey treats for leezard treats during the course of your quest of this achievement. I especially enjoyed all successes ending with huggles"


Rest me to say, congratulations Raptor, impresive nicely done! You had the victory all along and managed to stay ahead of me.
It's time to accept you have defeated me.

I salute you!

Raptors claws beats tigers' claw. Classical!

Though he is gentle on clawing me when we are alone!

Very nice sweetheart!

Congratulations Raptor on such a fine achievement, I myself have troubles pick pocketing a made man but you sir are a true master at it. I really hope this means you no longer will be pickpocketing me and I can stop hiding my cash in my undies, though sometimes even that did not stop you.

I have to say.. Congratulations _Raptor_, I know you have been working on your pickpocketing for a long time now and Its such a great thing to see something so great pay off. Nicely done mate, a great achievement to remember.

Mikhail walks upto _Raptor_ and hugs him and whispers... 'You can put your hands in my pockets anytime' and then lets go and winks at him

Grin's pockets remain immune to Raptor probing.

~G~rin.

Oh Rapty! I guess I should be happy that close to 30% of that number was stealing monkey treats and pocket lint from me. That's a whole lot of huggles I conned out of you anyways! Congratulations on this achievement.

Deimna clears her throat.

Okay okay, I think I am having calculation errors tonight. It might not have been as many as I said earlier but it was alot.

Dec 19, '09 15:49 _Raptor_ tried to PICKPOCKET you, but walked away with nothing

Had to buy a new suit after that...

and Congratulaions _Raptor_, but try and catch me some money out (never going to happen).

Melody looks around all paranoid & whispers

..he always walks around the HQ muttering about pocket fluff..

Thats one hell of an achievement. Youve never ripped my suit before thankfully!

I wish you wouldn't encourage him.

Cow, your skin is tough. Im sure youll be ok

How impressive. I messed with leatherface a couple of times, then realised it was only going to end badly for me so I just avoid him where possible, or lay low if he's in the locals. To be fair though, his claws do tend to give you a nice tickle. He's so gentle for one so menacing.

I have a hole in my pocket...Hopefully I can manage to stay clear of those claws of his!

Coongratulations old friend, here's to the next 800 !!

Well done, I see the fluff has made you a nice new sweater

Congratulations, but what I want to know is Are you going to stop eating my chapstick or do I need to continue to keep several sticks in my purse for your enjoyment?

Whooo HOOO, congrats Raptor. Now just don't but a hole in my pockets now. Thanks! Keep it up!

Many thanks to the gracious Godmother ScipitaRourke. 

This challenge was one of the greatest I've faced in my days walking the streets of the 8 cities. Initially it seemed like virtually no inroad was being made in to the 800 figure we'd targeted. Slowly as the weeks went by I gradually eroded the total little by little, yet all the while there was Scipita matching me all the way. Thanks for pushing me all the way, and whilst that intital lead I had remained constant without it this would have been a great battle all the way.

I'd like to thank pretty much all of you who, whether you knew it or not, who most likely contributed to this acheivement for me! I'd particularly like to thank the following few both past and present mafiosi who contributed that extra bit more than most, GRHS and thanks to Awesome, Jono, Tallien and violet, and to the living; Deimna, you must have quite a supply of leezard treats now as your's was the most frequently visited pocket with 35 successful PP's so thanks for putting up with them all! Also thanks to black_lotus, CrazyNine, Paul Vidi, Pip and Persephone, you all bore persistent attempts from me and one of these days Pip, you might just get me back!

There really are too many others to thank for their wallets or purses contributing to my cause so don't take offence if I've not mentioned you here. 

As is clearly evident I've always been a great supporter of pickpocketing around the cities so If I've done nothing else other than raise the profile of it and get more people out there practising then thats the real victory in this competition.

Thanks for the congrats messages from you all, I look forward to seeing you along the same street in the future!

What a wonderful beast.
