CIT fix

I cannot pickpocket a player on CIT

The pickpocket does not work, or a red line says the player was already pickpocketed. Check that you are Criminal or Gangster and that the player can be pickpocketed.

Steps

1. Be Criminal or Gangster, and do not try it on a cop

   Only Criminals and Gangsters can pickpocket. It works on civilians and criminals only.

   Careful: Trying to rob a cop makes you wanted.

2. Check that the player can be pickpocketed

   You cannot pickpocket players with under 24 hours of playtime, players who are AFK for over 15 minutes, or players inside a safe zone.

3. Already pickpocketed: try someone else

   After a successful pickpocket, that player is protected from all thieves for 10 minutes, and from the same thief for 30 minutes. The game can show the red line This player was already pickpocketed in the last 30 minutes. Try someone else.
