The course of studyreportedly lasts some six to eight weeks at the “School of the Ten Bells,” named for its final exam. A mannequin,dressed in a man’s vested suit, is said to hang by a wire from the ceiling. Stuffed in each of the suit’s ten pockets arevaluables, and attached to each pocket is a bell. The “students” must extract all the contents without jingling a bell. “Ifthey can do it, they ‘graduate’ and fan out to Boston, New York, and other big US cities,” says Kleinlein. Crime experts say that pickpockets focus on department stores, buses and railroad stations, sports stadiums,parades—wherever there are crowds.
