1) Always check to make sure what you type gets you what you want. Don't {{com|STEAL}} unless you've tried {{com|GET}} or {{com|BUY}} first to confirm the syntax.<br />
1b) In fact, you should generally be doing that anyway so that you can get a feel for the object's weight and value, which determine how hard it's going to be to grab.

2) If you pick up a warrant: stop, turn yourself in, and then do something else for the rest of the day. It becomes harder and harder to plead and the fines steadily grow as you build a reputation as a criminal. The judge is stupid but not that stupid: most complaints of pleading innocent's ineffectiveness comes from people who are blithely getting warrants every day.<br />
2b) This is especially important for [[Necromancer]]s who want to practice stealing.

3) If your {{skill|Hiding|Hiding}} is above your {{skill|Stealing|Stealing}} (and it probably is), hide first.<br />
3b) [[Shadows]] and related spells are your friends.
