According to The Athletic, Arteta invited pickpockets to a team dinner and instructed them to discreetly steal from the players. At the end of the meal, Arteta asked the players to empty their pockets, revealing that many of their valuables were missing. This exercise was designed to teach the players the importance of constant vigilance.
