Can someone explain how this is supposed to work? Every time I successfully pickpocket someone they always ask to search my bags. I'm not getting caught. I sneak successfully, pickpocket the person successfully, and sneak away from them a litttle bit for good measure. Then, when I unsneak and start to casually walk away, they run up to me and ask to search my bags. Are you supposed to just run away immediately after pickpocketing? That seems dumb. If I'm successful, how do they know what I did and why would I have to run? Is there a proper way to do this so you don't get searched every time if you don't run like hell the second you SUCCESSFULLY steal something? Thanks.
It's actually pretty sensible, we find it weird only because of game tropes habits.
See it through the eyes of the guy : he suddenly notice he's missing his stuff, and someone is casually walking away.
He didn't caught you in the act, he doesn't know you're the culprit, but SOMEONE stole from him and just at the same time you're around.
I was surprised at first, but at least this DOES make sense.
