Pickpocket hunter dreams of world without thieves

Feng Liming, 37, is a retired soldier, but he often dresses like a woman when he is in public. He always carries a wig, a pair of sunglasses and a blouse with him so he can disguise himself to catch pickpockets.

"Today's bad guys have learned some anti-detection techniques, so I have to be able to transform my appearance to resemble a college student or a female office worker within seconds," Feng said.

He is known and feared by many pickpockets, robbers and drug users in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province.
