There are lots of things for you to pickpocket. If a NPC has a name. I usually will do a quik save and then try to pick pocket that NPC. He or she will have something about 50% of the time.

.While your in Beregost, there is also a Paladin at inn, found on the southside of town that has a +1 Small Shield, who is fairly easy to pick. Just remember to do a quick save prior to picking him. You can also do his quest and get the shield, but it's more fun to pinch it. Then go and do his quest later for the experience points.
