"They reached a metal fence and Mr Fendick moved aside to allow Miss Bacon through first, prosecutor Mardell told the court.
"It was at this point that Mr Fendick felt a hand in his pocket and his wallet fall to the floor. Miss Bacon then picked the wallet up and ran off.
"She handed back the wallet to Mr Fendick some time after the incident and said sorry but �80 was missing."
In mitigation, the court was told that Bacon felt a great deal of regret over the incident and had taken steps to remove herself from the Littleport area and to pursue a new career.
As well being ordered to repay the �80, Bacon was handed a two-year conditional discharge by magistrates.
