Pick a pocket or two

You notice several people in the tavern far gone with their drink you pick one that looks like he has some money. You buy yourself a flagon and walk over to him acting like your drunk you through your arms around him and kiss him as you do so you take his purse and put it in one of your pouch. After the kiss you say to him "Hello Thomas god I've missed you?" You then look at his face and say "Your not Thomas!" you slap his face and walk off. As you walk away you start to wander can it be this easy. All the time your waiting for somebody to shout stop thief.
