Have you ever been sitting around, waiting for a download to finish or some other chore about as exciting as watching paint dry, and thinking about a story and the big cliche in the middle of it that you've never been able to figure out a way around because then you'd deconstruct the story too far, but you couldn't come up with something to replace that facet of the plotline? And then while staring blindly at nothing in particular, an image of a book cover or a CD or maybe one of those stupid click-through ads on the 'net catches your eye and suddenly you think, oh my freaking DOG that's it!

No?

Okay, me neither.

But I think I just came awfully close.

Heh. I'm fortunate in that the one character I need to focus on has an 'unusual' skill; his job is to distract the mark after the pickpocketing, to give the dip time to get away clean. He's also trying to learn how to bump locks, because he knows he can't get away with that forever, with a face as distinctive as his is.
