lol...i remember my pickpocketing days...now i know this is not how the game mechanics fxn...but i will swear to the following....picking pockets for me allways seemed to work at 100% success when i was three levels higher than the action point cast of the crime. drifters at level 6, tourists at 7, monoral passengers at 8, and airports at level 9. try sooner than the aforementioned levels, and at least a jail stint or two every day. now i know more vars go into deciding if the crimes work, but as i said i will swear by the previous statement. noticing a similar pattern with the steal a car crimes, but not sure exactly what it is yet.
