a person who, from habitually pocketing lighters from smokingcigarettes, surreptitiously thieves lighters during group smoking without realizing it, can become notorious.
The often unintentional theft of a friend or acquaintances lighter, many times this act is a subconscious force of habit, but is just as often not an accident. Most people realize that any lighters they buy might get lighter gamed so they purchase cheap ones in bulk.

One who, despite not having any other klepto tendencies, will habitually pocket other people's cigarette lighters. Typically this unconscious act of thievery happens after a weed session. The number one reason a BIC lighter will often pass through 20 other owners before it's spent.
