nine-fingered

1. Thief
2. A con-man (i.e. smooth talking salesman)
Origin: Probably spawned from the days when thieves had one of their digits forcibly removed after being caught stealing.

Used in the phrase "You nine-fingered shitehawk*!" in reference to a car salesman after he sweet talks you out of your hard earned cash for a car that is hardly worth the elastic in your underwear.
*aggressive salesman
