Sticky Fingers
price:3-4 crystals

A pair of gloves that allow you to pickpocket people. Can change appearance on the fly like a chameleon jumpsuit,so people don't start emptying out their pockets whenever a quartermaster passes by. Also work as insulated gloves

While wearing the gloves,using the grab intent on someone instead pickpockets them (pocket stolen from depends on your active hand) and silently stores the thing you stole in your backpack. Target gets no notification at all. Instead of the stolen item being outright removed from their pocket,it's replaced by a dummy item that has the same name and appearance. However,clicking on it or having 30 seconds elapse makes it disappear and gives you a red message alerting you about it possibly being stolen.

Drawbacks:
You have to take off your gloves to throw/strangle/whatever people
If you lose an arm you can't steal from both pockets anymore
If anyone gets their hands on your gloves,it becomes obvious what they are since they can bring up the change appearance menu or put them on and try to grab someone

I can't decide if this would be a no-syndie item or a great syndie item.

This is the kinda thing I'd expect an assistant traitor to get, although the price should be at most 2 telecrystals because I can't think of very many situations where they would be actually useful, as compared to being griefy (and hilarious).

Wasn't this suggested before, by the way?
