Paris Pickpocket Hospitalized After Encountering American Tourist's 'Booby-Trapped' Wallet

Paris, France - An unusual incident has reportedly left a pickpocket hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat after attempting to steal a wallet from an American tourist visiting Paris for the Olympics. The American, whose identity has not been released, allegedly employed a custom-engineered decoy wallet designed to deliver an electrical charge upon being opened. According to the tourist, who described the situation as "the best reality TV show of all time," he intentionally carried multiple booby-trapped wallets to allow pickpockets to steal them. The latest incident saw a thief successfully take one of these wallets, only to be zapped by an electrical charge when attempting to access its contents. The pickpocket was subsequently found complaining of feeling unwell and was transported to a local hospital. An emergency room doctor, who examined the device, reportedly lauded it as "an absolutely brilliant feat of engineering" designed to deter thieves. While the tourist views his actions as a form of entertainment and a deterrent to crime, local authorities have yet to comment on the legality or implications of such self-defense measures.
