This goes back to over ten years ago with one of my first ferrets. Eric had a passion for wallets. It didn't matter who's wallet either. Eric would pickpocket male visitors on command. Really! I'd whisper to Eric wallet and pat my butt (where the pocket is). As long as the male visitor wasn't sitting right on the wallet, Eric would run over to the couch, hop up, go behind the visitor and pull out the wallet. Then down off the couch he'd go. If the wallet would come open, Eric would stop and take out the credit cards. Eric would go after female visitor's wallets too. Not on command though. There were several times that a female visitors left their purses' unattended and Eric would snitch the wallet. Unfortunately, Eric did not have a favorite Hidey hole. So when this would happen, we'd have to look all over the place for it. Our visitors thought that we had trained him to do this, but no this was his own idea :).
