Pickpocket

 is one of the stealth skills available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

In order to pick a character's pockets, you must be sneaking. Approach the target from behind, and press to bring up their inventory. Choose the item from their inventory you'd like to steal and select it. Once you've selected the item, it will be added to your inventory provided you weren't detected by the target.

It isn't a crime to look in another character's pockets. But any time you steal an item, there's a chance you may be detected. The higher your pickpocket skill, the lower the chance that you'll get caught.

It's also possible to plant an item into the target's inventory while pickpocketing. Just select the item from your own inventory, just like you would put something into a container.
