Pickpockets say the darndest things

I was watching a pickpocket leave the park and I looked at his thoughts. I did this because I wanted to see if there was any correlation between a guests' thoughts and the likelihood of them being a pickpocket. Then I came across one of them that said this

"I can't ride something as in intense as Venetian Carousel."

So it got me wondering if pickpockets say trolly things like that as maybe sort of an indicator of their identity. Anyone see anything similar?

Pickpockets sometimes think things like "There's my next pickpocket victim", "I'm going to pick your pocket", and "Picked from your pocket into mine". But thoughts are not the best way to spot them because most of the time they're having normal peep thoughts about the scenery, being thankful the restrooms are free, etc.

The surefire way to identify a pickpocket is to look on his group info tab. This will show "very low" tolerances for both fear and nausea, and if you mouse over those boxes it will show "0.0-0,0" for the numerical values. That's clear criminal intent. This guy isn't going on any rides, he's just there to steal. When you see this, you can freely hit the "Eject Group" button on the group info tab and have security kick him out of the park. Even if he hasn't yet stolen anything, this counts as a pickpocket busted.

So... If the restrooms aren't free do you think they'll still use them?

Dips are a new 4th demographic. They're normal peeps except for 2 things:

#1: They never go on rides due to their 0.00 fear and nausea tolerances, and;
#2: They steal from other peeps.

So apart from that, they partake of your park the same as everybody else. They have the same physical and hardwired needs that they're willing to spend money on. They're just as impressed by impressive scenery as everybody else. Thus, even a deterred peep can be pretty happy, and thus keep your park rating up, even if he's slightly disappointed he didn't get to mug anybody during his stay. And you make money off him while he's there, in the form of park admission and purchases of food, drink and gifts.

I've probably kicked out so many guests that weren't actual pick-pocketer's... "Oh you solo? Oh you running away? Where you running?! You think you can run in my park solo and not be a suspect!? GET OUT!" *EJECT*

[big grin][haha][squeeeeee]

And they ride the track ride that no one else would ride. (monorail, train)

Of course guests will ride those too but if in boring locations or only one station = pickpockets party ride!
