The Pickpocket Painter

Edmund

Age 12Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

Back to all ideas

This invention can be installed in your pocket and helps stop pickpockets by painting their hands, clearly marking them so the police don’t accidentally arrest someone innocent.

Little Inventors team says

The Pickpocket Painter is a stroke of genius, Edmund! Turning sneaky hands into a canvas of justice is both clever and creative. Have you thought about what colours it might use for the paint? That could make it even more fun! Keep dreaming up these inventive ideas – you're doing amazing! 🎨✨
