You're right, pick-pocketing seems to be a very lucrative crime. This reminds me of a story which happened in Munich during Oktoberfest last year. Apparently a 24 year old English bloke was nabbed for stealing a handbag. In addition to the woman's bag, the police found approx. €19,000 on the thief. Now that's a hard day's work!
The moral of the story is: if you are going to pick a pocket, pick a pick-pockets pocket.
