This doesn't work either. Activating a spell trigger item requires the same amount of time as casting the spell that the item stores, so you'd still be poking them with a wand for a minute. Just stealing the stuff is still quicker.

There are ways to shorten the casting time (like Alacritous Cogitation), but I don't remember one that is easy/re-usable enough for me to worry about it very much.
