      The oldest account of these that I have found is in Naples, Italy. I have some       pdfs of newspaper articles, diary entries and pages from books on the subject.       In Victorian London this was very common to find "Lodging-Houses" with young       boys and girls        being trained to pickpocket.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
