George
"It's funny you should say that," said George with a broad grin. For vices were exactly what he intended to take advantage of. The Last Whisper was, after all, home to a variety of bars, brothels, and gambling dens, all of which allowed people to be drunk or distracted - or both. And when people were drunk and/or distracted, they were easy to target.
So George steered Hawke towards one of the larger bars, its patrons spilling out into the covered street with mugs of ale in their hands and sloppy smiles on their faces. "There are better ways to spend your time than sneaking a gold piece or two from a torn bag," he murmured, his eyes on the crowd. He jutted his chin towards the bar. "Which one would you pick?"
He had his eye on a man sitting at a table, his attention on the waitress serving him. He appeared to be rather drunk already and had a full mug of ale, and his purse hung from his belt by a thread. If George pretended to be drunk, stumbled into the man, and "accidentally" pulled the entire purse free in the resulting scuffle, well... then the only thing left to do would be to spirit away the bag full of money, and that was where George's true talents lay.

if life had background music playing your song
I've got to be honest - I tried to escape you but the orchestra plays on
