A large number of us got arrested because some people can't keep their mouth shut and one day that leaked into the cops.

[Cpt Toellner]

I would Mercer Frey all over your asses.

Too bad you'd die a horrible death.

[Cpt Toellner]

Don't matter, i'm rich.

They'd turn robbing ______ person or item into a bandwagon, allowing authorities to easily track us down and arrest us all.

[andromedene]

I'd steal things but then I'd feel bad so I'd give them back without anyone realizing.

Traitor.

[Derpestein]

I'd steal from the stealers, backstab the backstabbers.

We're a guild of thieves, after all.

Honour, justice and law don't come into play when you go about making a living stealing from people.

Sure it does.

Honor among thieves, all that good shit.

You don't betray your brethren.

I'm already stealing student loans from the government so why not

If I was enter to enter a Thieves Guild it would be for the express purpose of destroying it from the inside. I have a very strong distaste for criminality of any kind.

No matter the circumstance?

Altruistic through and through

[Sole]

I guess I'd be the person trying to kill Nex with permission of the higher ups. I'd also steal liquor, high end culinary equipment, and copper.

You mean regardless of the excuses that criminals tell themselves to try and rationalize their behaviour? Yes. Regardless of that.

Let's look at a famous (albeit fictional) example of someone who stole only 'because he needed to'. Remember Aladdin, and how he was always stealing bread, on the basis of "gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat"?

Why? Why did he have to steal to eat?

There was plenty of food in Agrabah—they even had fresh fish for sale, despite being in the middle of the desert. Aladdin wasn't disabled or anything, he was easily the most physically fit person in town, incredibly strong and agile. The greedy little twat expects us to believe that despite having superhuman agility and coordination AND a superb singing voice, he was unable to find any kind of gainful employment in Agrahbah? More than likely, Aladdin just enjoyed the thrill of being a criminal, and had no moral recompense for both his theft and the ensuing mass destruction of public property.

[Smiral]

I'd just fill up the entire thieves guild HQ with thousands of stolen cheese wheels

they have to be stolen
