your brain cannot focus conscious attention on more than one thing at once. Ask any illusionist/magician or pickpocket
your brain tends to bounce back and forth quickly in a fleeting manner between things but cannot focus conscious attention on more than one thing which is why I can bump into you, point up in the sky yelling "oh my god, is that a spaceship?!?!?!" as put my hand in your pocket and take your wallet without you being aware of it. As long as your conscious attention is focused on something, someone can touch you, grope you etc and it will never rise to your attention in that moment. This is how a watch can be removed from your wrist without you knowing it or feeling it in the moment.
