The situation was so bad the City called Philadelphia for a law enforcement. They also turned for help to Camden, but Camden answered they have plenty of their own thieves. New York promised to help according to: I shall scratch your back if you you will scratch mine.
In February, near to the Pottery fair day, the policemen, detectives, and the plain clothes policemen took a week training, where they learned about thieves psychology, thieving techniques, a prowess of their fingers, and how to sneak to the thieves from the side and the back. Those who were extremely good knew, how to pick thieves pockets looking straight into their eyes.
So it happened that one successful thief returned home from the market, called mom and children, and in front of them put his hands into his, now empty pockets, and began to pull out crumbs, broken pieces of chewing gum, and the crumpled balls of paper tissues. His family laughed at him and continued to dry their mouths in front off the stove, or outside in the sun.
So, thanks to to skillful police, the pick pockets didn't have a good time in the City. Police practiced, in their free time, their skills as amateur magicians. One plain clothes policeman pulled out of school inspector wallet a silver dollar for what he received five minutes standing ovations.
City police, detectives, and plain clothes policemen were asked to come to help to the cities with the large population of thieves. They were successful, brought home money, and could see the world.
