Pickpocket

Pickpocket

Pickpocket is a criminal activity where you try to steal money or drugs from another player.

How it works

Pickpocket is one of the smaller criminal activities in CIT.

It is done directly on another player and can reward cash, drugs, and Reputation Points.

If the attempt fails, you do not get the reward.

More details

To pickpocket a player:

1. Stand next to the player.
2. Press X.
3. Click the player.
4. Choose pickpocket.

If you are caught, the pickpocket attempt fails.

Rewards

A successful pickpocket gives:

• 35 RP
• either $5,000 cash or one random drug type worth $5,000 at its current average price, capped by the target's available stock

The drugs come from the victim's inventory: the victim loses exactly what the thief receives. An attempt takes cash or one drug, never both. About 6 in 10 successes pay drugs. The amount follows the drug's average price, usually 11 to 13 units in 2026, most often 12, and never under 10.

VIP does not raise the cash or drug amount. A Double Earnings token doubles thief cash to $10,000. Over the earn limit the thief gets no drugs and only $500 cash, while the victim still loses $5,000.

Cooldowns and Limits

A player cannot attempt to pickpocket you again for 60 seconds after an attempt. After a successful pickpocket, you are protected from all thieves for 10 minutes and from that same thief for 30 minutes.

There is no cooldown between different victims; the waiting times are per victim. A repeat attempt can show This player was already pickpocketed in the last 30 minutes.

Protection
