It's a Real Shame to Treat 'Em in This Way
Genoa.—The chief of police received a letter signed "The Tramways Pickpockets' Association" complaining that the persons from whom they abstract pocketbooks have "the dishonest habit" of invariably declaring to the police a much larger financial loss than they have really suffered. They cite specific cases where one man claiming to have been robbed of 2,500 lire only lost 50, and another one reporting a loss of 1,800 lire when his pocketbook contained less than 200.
The letter argues that such exaggerations are likely to cause unfortunate consequences and strained relations among the pickpocket fraternity, as when a member of the association turns in a few hundred lire when the lower claims to have lost thousands, the pickpocket is suspected by his colleagues of having retained the difference.
"Alleged honest people should be more delicate," the letter ends.
