Thieves Challenge: Pickpocketing

Gonna hand this one to Amanda. Her experience alone as a thief for over a thousand years should be enough to carry her here.

In Highlander season four, episode "The Colonel" Amanda is seen training a pickpocket.  So it is cannon that she is skilled enough in pickpocket to train others.

The only Saint reference regarding pickpocketing I find is the film The Saint in London in which The Saint works with one.  The Saint is a character that has been around for a long time, and I will wait to see if someone has feats to point out.

At the moment I lean Amanda.

So as mentioned the Saint works with a pickpocket in The Saint in London. He also picks pockets himself in the book series. There are examples of it in 'The Man Who Was Clever', 'The Gold Standard', and 'The Man From St. Louis'. 

He also uses similar sleight of hand and distraction techniques to place things like transmitters in the tv series.

Do we see Amanda pick pockets in the field or just teach it? Because those are very different circumstances.

Clearly you have some insight into the Saint character and I appreciate that you are sharing it.

Sad to say that the only Saint I've seen is the Val Kilmer movie. I know the character has a long history.
