reverse pickpocketing
Covert pocket deposits
Reverse pickpocketing is secretly slipping something into someone's pocket or bag rather than taking something out.
The act might plant evidence, deliver a gift, or pass contraband: She reverse pickpocketed a love note into his jacket.
The term plays on the stealth of pickpocketing while inverting its purpose.
