(a) Show me pickpockets (show me anyone) at Grove St. -- there's
rarely anyone at the kiosk other than the newsstand guy.

(b) Show me pickpockets at WTC (well, maybe I won't be using that
station until the rebuilding is finished).

(c) Where would you suggest I keep it? I don't carry a purse.

Not opening the wallet didn't work.
