1865 – Allen Pinkerton and his detectives can’t solve a pickpocketing at a Philadelphia theater box office.
Three undated tickets for Dress Circle or Parquet tickets to the Chestnut Street Theatre with an accompanying note that reads:
“In the winter of 1865 my father was robbed of his wallet by a professional thief while at the box office window buying these tickets. The wallet contained all his money, as at that time banks were uncertain, also several ‘shin plasters; low-value scrip issued by the Gov. during the war. Chief of Detectives Allen Pinkerton, told him if he could identify the man who pushed up against him he could have him in one hour. But he could not.”
(One of Pinkerton’s branch offices was located in Philadelphia.)
