What time is it? It's half past wrist.

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.
