Thievery is a neat art-form.  Though I prefer to reference the up-front version as such.  Sneaking about and taking stuff is just Move Silently and Hide checks.  I prefer the thievery that requires some charisma.  Not that I actually engage in such things.  I just find it really neat when someone could walk up to you, take your stuff, and leave you waving thinking how weird they are.  I can't remember his name at the moment, but there's one Swiss guy, I believe, who can steal suspenders whilst carrying on witty conversation.  I also personally think it would be hilarious if more thieves did that.  Just think, if you will:
Everyone in the world is friendly now.  You can't pass by anyone with saying hi, maybe shaking hands.  And watches are at a premium.  Everyone is so courteous, so kind, so quick to offer a helping hand and use it to take your tie before you notice.
So yeah.  Just marveling at how good at it charismatic thieves have to be to pull it off.
