A thief, especially a pickpocket.
They are pickpockets, they would be burned at the stake.
A cutpurse was a term used in the Elizabethan era to describe a pickpocket or thief, often targeting unsuspecting audience members in crowded places like theaters. At the Globe Theatre, cutpurses could easily blend in with the throngs of people, using the distraction of performances to steal valuables. If caught, they faced swift punishment, which could include public humiliation, imprisonment, or even harsher penalties to deter such crimes. The bustling environment of the Globe made it both an opportunity and a risk for these criminals.
A cut-purse is a thief. The modern day name would be a pick-pocket. They were called cut-purses because in the days when people carried their money in a bag (a purse) hung off their belts, the thieves would steell them by cutting the cord attaching the purse to the belt. Theatres were goo places for cut-purses to operate because they were crowded (people stood rather then sat) and peoples attention was focused on the stage/actors rather than their purses.

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.
They are pickpockets, they would be burned at the stake.

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.
