pit-nicking

To steal one small, not very valuable (in terms of money) thing out of a whole bunch of the things in a very 'sneaky'(ish) way, and then do it again and again from different bunches of things that belong to different people or groups because they won't notice if one of the things is gone and it won't really impact them in any way. Like going on a walk and stealing one flower from each yard to make a bouquet instead of stealing a bunch of flowers form one yard because no one will notice if one flower is gone and it makes you feel mischievous and sneaky in a delightful kind of way. (created and thought up by Aurora Aksnes (AURORA); found in a triple j interview)
"I went pit-nicking for a bouquet of flowers." "I pit-nicked some candy from the pantry while I was at my best friend's house."

"I've enjoyed a bit of pit-nicking in my life. I love stealing flowers from other people's gardens." - Aurora Aksnes
