My bf opened the door for a man that was walking slowly behind us. He thanked us and went into the theater. We followed. He turned around and pointed to the concession line and offered for us to go first since we technically would've been in front of him anyways. We said sure and thanked him... I'm pretty sure while I was looking at the candy he swiped my wallet from my purse while I wasn't looking. I would say just be extra aware of your surroundings and purse.

Second that! Was it a pickpocket operation? Was it at the Regal? I've been there a few times and never faced shady situations ot tight crowds where pickpockets operate

Well based off the fact that other reviews for the tattoo shop are saying they had their wallets stolen from other theaters, I definitely think it was a pickpocket operation. Unfortunately it was the Regal in KOP. We just moved to the area and were really excited to explore and see Avatar after a really hard week.

Damn! Maybe at the line for the popcorn and drinks? Thats the only place I regularly see crowded lines and even there it doesn't resemble a real crowded place. Other possibility would be if they squeeze into their seats when people are already seated; i always keep my wallet in me front pocket. Anyway, thanks for warning everybody and lets hope these assholes are nabbed soon!

Yeah, I think it was the concession’s line… only place someone was close enough to try and do it. It sucks, but hopefully other people will see this and be more aware.

Happened to me once in Chicago. A guy snuck into the row behind me (I was a few rows from the very back) and was going through my coat pockets. I happened to feel it and catch him in the act. I flipped out and he ran out of the theater.

Honestly, I was confused/shocked at first. He realized I noticed and quickly jumped back. I think I just stood up and loudly said "YOU MOTHERFUCKER" and he took off. Luckily he didn't get anything.

I know it's not funny, but reading this made me snort. I'm glad he didn't get anything!
