An Ecuadorian musician filming a video selfie during a visit from the Pope has unwittingly captured the moment a pickpocket stole his mobile phone. <br /> <br />Diego Mino, a drummer in a local band, was in the crowd of close to one million people who gathered in the country’s capital Quito on Tuesday to hear the Pope give mass. <br /> <br />In a video uploaded by Mr Mino, he can be seen smiling and running through the throng of people while filming himself with a GoPro attached to a selfie stick. <br /> <br />Less than half a minute into the clip a man in a black jacket and two women appear behind him. <br /> <br />As an unaware Mr Mino picks up the pace and jogs through the crowd so do the thieves, dashing in and out of oncoming traffic to keep up with their target. <br /> <br />Mr Mino comes to a stop and the man in the jacket slips his hand into the musician’s pocket without him even noticing. <br /> <br />Mr Mino is hoping someone will recognise the thieves and come forward to police
