17.39 The skill of Thievery.

Thievery deals with your ability at pick-pocketing other players and CCCs of their possessions with or without them noticing. When you attempt to STEAL <object> FROM <target>, you will gain three possible results. You will either be totally successful in stealing the item without being spotted, you could be partially successful in that you will steal the item but you will also be spotted, or you could fail in which case you will be spotted before the thievery has taken place. Stealing is made harder if the target is wearing the item to be stolen - after all, it would be rather difficult to steal a pair of trousers from somebody if they are actually wearing them.

Example: - Steal key from procyon
