''Distraction theft is a type of theft where the victim’s attention is diverted in order to steal something, usually valuables like a wallet, purse, phone, or jewelry. It’s a common tactic used by pickpockets, scam artists, and opportunistic thieves, often in public places. It can also be a tactic to gain entrance into homes.

Victims of distraction theft can be chosen due to their age, if they appear trusting, or if they speak little or no English. The offenders generally target people who are walking or sitting alone in public or on their own property.

Often, criminals will operate in pairs or groups, with one person distracting the victim while the other(s) take the opportunity to steal the victim's belongings.
Some of the most common examples are:

• Asking for directions or pretending to need help
• Starting an argument or causing a scene
• Spilling something on the victim
• Damaging a vehicle (flatten tire, or spill on windshield)

While the victim is focused on the distraction, an accomplice (or the same person) takes the opportunity to steal their belongings. Suspect(s) can be in a vehicle or on foot and will sometimes include a child to seem less suspicious. They may also drive or walk around residential neighbourhoods, shopping malls, parks, or approach potential victims at bank machines. The suspect then walks away leaving the victim confused, not realizing that their property has been taken.
Here are some tips to help prevent distraction theft:

• Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas.
• Keep your belongings close and zipped up.
• Be cautious when approached by strangers with odd or overly engaging behavior.
• Avoid placing valuables on tables or hanging bags on chairs in public places.
• If someone is close enough to put a necklace on you, they are too close.''
