So I was wondering if I could store items like weapons on npc's and leave them to their business, without lossing my stuff?

Best Answer

Items given to NPCs via pickpocketing will not permanently stay there. Usually they will disappear after certain events, like leaving the area or simply letting some time pass.

Stolen items will replenish in an NPCs inventory in the same way.
