Pickpockets and Proud

Anyone else watching it and getting high blood pressure? Arrrgh!!

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

No, not watching it for that very reason!

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

I watched till the end and wished I hadn't! Film crew actually accompanied them during their crime sprees?! Honestly...

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

If justice prevailed, these miscreants would be hoisted by their own petards.

I wonder if the crew found it necessary to count their spoons at the end of their spree.

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

I watch most docus - gave this one a miss, it gives me the 'ump thinking about it

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

I was left hoping the criminals and film crew would be arrested, surely even for a documentary they can't just stand by and watch crimes taking place ? BTW I am not sure this counts as a documentary it seems like a series of programmes made just to raise peoples blood pressure !

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

Didn't watch it but did watch Shoplifters and Proud. Damned disgusting those shoplifters are too.

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

I watched it, it was disgusting, that Romanian gang should be deported, they have the audacity to come over here to steal, and brag about it on television, then they wonder why immigrants have a bad name.
The good thing about it is that everyone has now seen their faces, and the people who live near them will now know who they are.

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

I agree Jimmy. I think the UK Government should identify the homes in Romania belonging to these gangs, possess them somehow, sell them and bring the proceeds back to us, to maybe go into one of our pots, the NHS for instance! We need to get that money back: it belongs to the UK people, whether the victims were hard working individuals or benefit takers...it's ours.

I also agree that the crims AND the crew be arrested, unless the goods were returned when the cameras were switched off.

It has certainly made me more wary now. I will be sure to be extra vigilant with my valuables when out and about.

Re: Pickpockets and Proud

The leader has already bought a house in Romania out of the proceeds, he is now stealing for the furnishings, he wants a big flat screen television next.
