A 'cutpurse' was a term used in the past to describe a thief who would stealthily cut the purses or wallets from people's clothing, often in crowded places like theaters. At the theater, cutpurses would take advantage of the bustling environment to steal from unsuspecting patrons. If caught, they could face severe punishment, including public humiliation, imprisonment, or even harsher penalties, as theft was taken seriously in that era. The presence of such criminals added an element of danger and excitement to the theatrical experience.
The word "could" implies a future possibility that might or might not happen.
An educated guess or prediction on what might happen
sometimes it is because you might not know what is going to happen.
Science implication is the facts of what might actually happen, versus opinions of what others think will happen. This practice happens in science all the time.

A cutpurse is a thief, a kind of pickpocket. Back in the day, people's clothes did not have pockets built into them. They kept their money in little bags or purses which they tied to their belts. A cutpurse would sneak up on them and cut the strings that held the purse to the belt, take the purse and disappear before the victim knew it was gone.
