Actually, it is easier to steal something when you are in the open about it.
Do it in front of everybody's eyes and they don't think anything of it.
I did this myself once. I liked the fancy desk chairs in the computer lab of my university and decided that I would take one. So, around noon on a Monday, with people walking everywhere, I wheeled that chair across the middle of campus to my dorm room. A friend of mine asked what I was doing. My reply: "I'm stealing this chair."
His response: "You crazy practical joker. Get outta here!"
(I did return it at the end of the semester. I'm not a thief. I just like comfy chairs for studying in.)
