gentleman thief
A gentleman thief, lady thief, or in the East, is a particularly well-behaved and apparently well-bred thief. A "gentleman or lady" is usually, but not always, a person with an inherited title of nobility and inherited wealth, who need not work for a living. Such a person steals not to gain material wealth, but for adventure; they act without malice. These thieves rarely bother with anonymity or force, preferring to rely on their charisma, physical attractiveness, and clever misdirection to steal the most unobtainable objects—sometimes for their own support, but mostly for the thrill of the act itself.
==In popular culture==
In fictional works, the phantom thief is typically superb at stealing while maintaining a sophisticated front and/or a thief's code of honor: Raffles steals mostly when he is especially in need of money; Lupin steals more from the rich who do not appreciate art or their treasures and redistributes it (like a modern Robin Hood); Saint Tail steals back what was stolen or taken dishonestly, or rights the wrongs done to the innocent by implicating ''the real'' criminals. Sly Cooper and his gang steals from other thieves and criminals, as it is their honorable code.
