People Who Steal - A Thief Is A Thief, Is A Thief, Is A Thief


Larceny,  the unlawful taking of someone else's property. 


There's no doubt about it, a thief, is a thief, is a thief! If you steal you are a thief. Steal plain ole money and you're not just a thief, you're a crook.

The act of stealing is called a theft, from petty theft to a grand theft, they're all thefts big or small. These include burglaries, such as housebreakers (3.7 million or more per year) where a person enters onto or into someone else's property with the intention of stealing. On a more vocal and visual scale using intimidation to take someone else's property is called robbery, use a weapon like a gun or knife then it's armed robbery. More serious.

Say, you're walking alone on a dark street and someone attacks you from behind with the intention of stealing your wallet or purse, even the pennies in your loafers then you've just been mugged. Someone usually gets hurt physically.

Say, you're in a crowd and someone bumps up against you. He or she says they're sorry. You're flattered. Later when you get home you realize you have lost the gold coin Grampa gave you after graduating high school and you've held onto it for 45 years for good luck in a secret pocket inside your coat, then you've been pick-pocketed!

There are thieves that roam the night and scale tall buildings, entering apartments through balcony doors. Cat-burglers they're a sneaky bunch.

Land or sea or air, you could get pirated. Your yacht, overtaken. Your private jet, high-jacked. Even, while stopped at a red traffic light in your collectible Nash Rambler, a car-napper orders you out of the car with a gun pointing through the window, you oblige and let him take your car. Somewhere, I'm sure, there's a bandit or a bunch of bandit's attacking a traveler right now.

There are embezzlers, shop-lifters, frauders and scammers. All are thieves and they're everywhere.  I could go on and on because you can never be too careful. One time, when you least expect it, chances are you'll be robbed at least once, expect it? 

A thief is a thief, is a thief, is a thief, eh?
