Stealing NPCs

See also: NPC looting

Due to the possible variations of what the "thief" actually is, the ´thieves´ parent tag is not required. For example, a creature that indiscriminately eats anything near them would effectively steal the items too but is hardly a thief.

This can range from actual thieves to animals to "malfunctioning" robots to gnomes to ants.

Usually but unfortunately not always the player gets the stolen items back after showing the thieves the error of their ways.

This is named stealing npcs to avoid people not familiar with tags tagging cases of regular outlaws with this (or characters only named thieves).
