What is PickPocket?
Pickpocket is one of the best, and one of my favorite anti-theft iOS tweaks out there. The tweak is centered around protecting your device from unwanted visitors. With the tweak, you can set it so anytime a passcode is entered wrong, your device will take a picture of the front and rear, or have it send a message to another phone number, or send you an email with the location of the device! Or all of them.

How much does PickPocket Cost?
PickPocket on cydia costs $1.99, but is worth every penny.

How do I use Pickpocket?
Once installed, you are granted a new settings page in your settings app, and this is where the fun begins. You are given 11 different categories, all with different functions.

Airplane Mode Options
Automatic Shutdown Options
Hard Reset Options
LS Information Options
Remote Actions Options
SIM Card Pulled Options
Unlock Options
Password Options
Email Options
SMS Options

What is your setup with PickPocket?
Currently I am running the SMS setup. So every time a passcode is entered incorrectly I get a direct message sent to my phone, and my iPad. This setup can be obtained, by

Locking Automatic Shutdown
Enabling Fake Hard Reset
Having an alarm go off if the SIM card is pulled
and having the camera take pictures if an incorrect passcode is disabled.

You can also have it so Siri begins talking if a passcode is entered incorrectly. Which can be handy.
