Pickpockets are stalkers

I did not know that Bon Voyage had a pick pocket! I hadn't sent any sims to the far east yet :-\

Technically I believe he's called the charlatan - he is easy to spot since he wears sort of local clothes, but (in my one encounter with him) also a monocle. He is obviously shifty. There seems to be some sort of EA sado-random thing (or something similar) going on with the chance of meeting him. If he manages to greet one of your playables, they will lose about $150 to him. This will boost their social bar, since he is apparently quite charming. Others have indicated that one can do a fight interaction to try to get the money back, or the sim can call the police on him. From the BV previews and other EA write-ups, you might have thought that he would show up a lot more than he actually does.

There is a strong possibility that anti-redundancy stomps charlatans, if not altogether then to the degree that it is highly unlikely that you will ever see one. The charlatan is supposed to be able to appear on any community lot and I have never seen one appear by themselves yet.
I spawned one last night using the NPC maker, and was highly amused to see him fleece an unsuspecting holidaymaker. :P

No wonder I missed the boat on the pickpocket/charlatan,I long ago quit reading the pre release hype put out about each EP. :P

I agree. Without antiredundancy, the (unpatched) game may spawn a new charlatan every time a Sim visits the community lot. I can live without charlatans if the alternative is 500+ redundant charlatans in my character files.
