A special case of robbing where a victim is forgetful of something and the thief disguises their crime by playing on the victim’s forgetfulness. By reminding the victim of something that they forgot* at a time where they cannot retrieve it, it allows enough time for them to forget about it again, leaving the thief with the goods. It’s a type of physical gaslighting that makes the aggressor appear completely innocent (despite their intent) and the victim seem as though they are irresponsible with their items**. *The victim did not forget anything. They were robbed and convinced otherwise. This is important for the ruse to work. **This happens with hoodies a lot.
