No you don't. No you don't think that. If you added up all of the things I've ever stole, you wouldn't even be able to charge me with grand larceny. REE-LON, on the other hand, most significant act of intellectual property theft in the last 50 years?
Hym "No you don't give a fuck about thieves. No you do not. You give a fuck about WHO steals and who gets away with it. And you want the cripple to get away with it and you want to retroactively punish me for a nebulous theft and a murder that has yet to happen that you were perfectly willing to provoke."

Get the Thieves mug.A special case of robbing where a victim is forgetful of something and the thief disguises their crime by playing on the victim’s forgetfulness.
By reminding the victim of something that they forgot* at a time where they cannot retrieve it, it allows enough time for them to forget about it again, leaving the thief with the goods.
It’s a type of physical gaslighting that makes the aggressor appear completely innocent (despite their intent) and the victim seem as though they are irresponsible with their items**.
*The victim did not forget anything. They were robbed and convinced otherwise. This is important for the ruse to work.
**This happens with hoodies a lot.

Jessica took Terry’s sunglasses. Terry was told that his sunglasses were left at Jessica’s apartment after a beach trip even though he always leaves them in his car. Jessica reminded Terry on three separate occasions that he left his stuff there only while he was at work or with friends knowing he’ll forget. Jessica finally stopped reminding him and kept his glasses. Jessica used passive thievery.

Get the Beaver Thiever mug.
A book.
A good one.
It’s actually a duology. Dance of thieves and Vow of thieves. A YA fantasy with queendoms and kingdoms. With sneaky and overpowering rulers with wavering trust and loyalties all trying to do anything to specifically help them and/or their kingdom/queendom/dynasty. And all of this adds to the plot.
The books follows Kazi and Jase. The two love interests and switch between POVs throughout the book. It’s an enemies to lovers trope and consists of betrayal with it . It’s amazing. Go read it
