Pickpockets had a busy year in 19S8: Thirty-five wallets with a total of $2,000 were lifted during a pa rade in Pasadena, Calif., the larg est haul in years. And a gentleman in a Grand Rap ids bar, finding that his pocket had been picked to the tune of $50 lost the rest of his money when he went out hunting for the $50 with some newly-made friends. Chicago police were more pa t'ent. They watched one pickpocket lift a man's wallet, watched an other artist lift the wallet from the first pickpocket, then collected both. Some of the looniest larcenies indrded: A crystal ball stolen from a fortune teller in Warwick, R.I. 36 diapers, five bed pads and eight pairs of rubber pants stolen in one haul from a store in West Union, Ohio.

And alibis really hit the top in 1959. Charged with passing four coun terfeit $100 bills, a gambler in Lou isville tcstiiied he had won the money with crooked dice. An El Paso landlady stole, forced and cashed a government check belonging lo a tenant, insist ed that she was only collecting her rent.

Another EI Paso woman, arrest- ca lor stealing ana cashing a government check said: "I didn't think it was wrong to steal Irom my mother-in-law." A shoplifter with a dressed chick en in Pacoima, Calif., explained that he had put the chicken under his shirt to keep It warm. One shoplifter's coat in Memphis, produced four sport shirts, two raincoats, a two-pound box of candy, a hat, several belts and two bodies of cologne.
