I came across a video on instagram the other day about a Brazilian deliveroo driver who got so infuriated by pickpockets in London that he decided to take matters into his own hands. He roams tourist hotspots like Oxford Street and Westminster with a body cam shouting and warning tourists when he finds pickpocketers in the act. I'll attach the link at the bottom of this post

I wanted to highlight him to you guys as i really believe that people like this who go out of their own way to try to solve big issues like this (also at their own personal risk) are true heros and deserve our respect. But not only that i truly believe that if we want to bring dignity and respect back to our streets then we all need to take more personal responsability for these issues and help solve them. In my case, i'm using my professional skills as a PR manager to get his story spread as far and as wide as possible.

If anyone wants to join the cause and has skills/connections to help spread this further, please DM me and we can discuss further. But for now, here's a video exert of his work that metro.co.uk included on their instagram handle:

  1. As bad as the pickpockets are, we really need to look at the phone stealing gangs that ride around like they own the city on their ebikes. Now that’s an issue that gets me going

  2. “I see picky pockets” lol love this guy

  3. Are that many people getting pickpocketed in London nowadays? Feels like a very 90s crime to fall victim to

  5. “Guys! We have to do something about the pick pockets! And we have to take *responsibility*! Now, I work in PR so obviously I just post on Reddit instead of actually doing the thing I think other people should do blah blah dignity blah blah respect.”

    You utter hoop.

  6. Good for him. But what we actually need to do is put these people in the bin

  8. Still trying to figure out what visa a Deliveroo rider from Brazil qualifies for…

  9. Good guy Diego. I work not far from those areas and now I have a better idea what to look out for.

    One time a guy tried to have my phone out my coat pocket but I put my own hand in there at the same time and ended up feeling his fingers.
