When you give a good item to somebody (such as the illithium), it usually gets put into the person's Backpack, from where it cannot be pickpocketed. (Or, at least when I try pickpocketing my own party members, I only get things that they're currently wearing.) You can, however, usually get the item back by killing the person, although that's not always a good solution, and isn't guaranteed to work: Sometimes, the script does not transfer the item from your possession to theirs, it simply removes the item from the game.
