[Diaspora] Criminals - picking locks, pockets and sleight of hand

[Trey Palmer]

OK, for a Crimelord, probably Brokerage, Intimidation, Resolve, Assets and
Charm plus whatever other skills he used to make his bones (be it
Archeology, Brawling, Close Combat, Communications, Computer, Demolitions,
Energy Weapons, Repair, Science (ala Breaking Bad), Stealth or Vehicle),
plus of course Profession: Criminal.

What could it be good for aside from being known for it by other criminals?
Stealing from Sufficiently Advanced (fun game by the way),

So, edit out the bit about sneaking around, and I think it might be good.
