It is theorized that members of the South American Theft Groups (SATG) begin their criminal careers as pick pockets. The legend of the School of Seven Bells exists, wherein the SATGs are trained in deception with a final exam of lifting items from a mannequin whose pockets contain bells (and/or razor blades). One ring of the bell and the student fails. Most members SATGs master the art of pick pocketing. Some remain specialists in this area while others move on to larger scaled crimes.
