Before Nick Wilde met Judy Hopps and turned away from a life of crime, he was "business partners" with a small fennec fox aptly named Finnick. The two went around the city of Zootopia and conned many of it's citizens out of their hard earned monies. The con that seemed to work the most was having Finnick play a baby, toddler, or child and Nick play the father or uncle or caretaker. Finnick always preferred to play a young child, but had to switch it up and play a toddler or baby from time to time to prevent the locals and cops from catching on.

This particular con was to snag some cash from the rich parents at the nicest park in the city. Nick would charm an unsuspecting mother while Finnick would grab the cash from her purse while she was distracted. It was during the school year so Finnick had no choice but to play a toddler as older kids were supposed to be in schools. To sell the bit, Nick convinced him to wear a diaper. A wardrobe choice that the little fennec fox hated, but accepted.

Nick led his 'son' into the park by the paw and they quickly found a seemingly unsuspecting mother and her son playing by one of the park benches. Nick started talking to the lady while Finnick toddled around being cute. Finally, the mother was sufficiently distracted enough for Finnick to make his move. The 'tot' reached in to the lady's purse and grabbed a stack of cash out. Unbeknownst to Finnick, the lady's little boy caught him red handed and ratted him out.

They were busted and Nick knew it. The only way out of the mess now was to give the money back, lightly scold his 'son' in front of the lady, and walk away to try another day. The lady demanded that Finnick give the money back. All he needed to do was give the money back and cutely apologize and the two con artists would get away scot free. Instead, Finnick broke character and refused to give the money back. He even went as far as to hurl expletives at the poor lady and her child.
