If your a "bad guy" and see three people walking, one has nothing, one a backpack, and one a messenger bag, which would you target?

The "bad guy" is going to target the messenger bag because he can run by and grab and yank it off easily. The backpack with two straps would be harder to take allowing the wearer more time to fight back.

So the messenger bag is the least "grey" of all.

My concern is not the pickpocketer scanning a crowd to find the next victim. It's about not leaving a lasting impression on anyone's mind.
