Rustle

I think it should be possible to steal other character's animal retainers.
The 'rustle' command would attempt to change the owner from one character to another. It would have a chance of failure, and if not successful would lock out chance of success for the same animal for an OOC week. Use of the command would report as a crime, and would require following cnote policy for criminal actions.
Optionally, the owner of the stolen animal could automatically revert to the original owner when the animal is released. The 'dismiss' command could also not work with stolen animals, forcing them to remain on grid. The 'pet desc' and 'pet short' commands could also be disabled for them. These restrictions could be removed after a suitable period of time.
