of them stealing the credit card from someone's wallet, well that is them. In Thailand we were always told to keep things zipped in a backpack or on our person because the steal. When I was in Sri Lanka a bunch of them came onto our hotel balcony and stole what they could get their hands on. Signage in the rooms said to never leave your patio doors open as they will come in the rooms and steal items. They were not guided by humans but I would guess that they are easily trained by humans to do many things.
