‘Putpocketing’ in London | Random Acts of Kindness

Posted by Sammy Holt on August 24th, 2009

Well, it looks like the people in London are onto a little something when it comes to random acts of kindness…

Recently, a group of 20 former pickpocketers have turned over a new leaf in the name of ‘brightening up people’s lives in unusual ways.’  Yep, as a kind alternative to their usual hobby, they have begun practicing the art of ‘putpocketing’ all over London’s tourist hotspots!

What does it all mean? Well, throughout the end of August, this band of do-gooding Londoners will be taking part in an initiative that requires them to casually slip anywhere from 5 pounds to 20 pound notes INTO the pockets of unsuspecting passersby.  The initiative, funded by a broadband provider, is scheduled to rollout country-wide and give away nearly 100,000 pounds worth of putpocketing.  Not too shabby, eh?
