Except that this table downplays the skill set of the pickpocket. (which is a dying art, by the way)
Professional pickpockets select their marks carefully. They evaluate them and identify where the valuables are before they choose to take action.
They have a good idea of what they're going to get before they start the procedure.
Fun pick pocket trick that works with two people working together. First one walks up and bumps into victim, noticeably pats them down in a placatory manner, then walks away with nothing. Second pick pocket watches the whole thing from a distance, and pays close attention to which pockets the victim hurriedly checks still contain their valuables.
