  Steal from mobs or objects.

  Usage: steal [target]

  Attempts to pickpocket a mob or shoplift from an object. Requires
  a minimum thieving level depending on the target.

  If there is only one stealable target in the room, you can type
  just "steal". If there are multiple different targets, you must
  specify: "steal man", "steal stall", "steal 2.man".

  On success, you receive a random item from the target's loot table
  and gain thieving XP. The action repeats automatically until you
  run out of inventory space or are interrupted.

  On failure against a mob, the mob turns hostile and attacks you.

  On failure against a guarded object while the guard is watching,
  the guard confronts you with options to pay a bribe, go to jail,
  or fight.

  Use "sneak" to see when guards are watching or looking away.

  Aliases: thieve
