Dating back to 1565, Philip Galle's "The Parable of the Good Shepherd" depicts a moral tale where thieves lurk amidst innocence. Leslie Phillips' sad countenance captures the aftermath of having his house stripped bare, losing thousands in valuables.

Meanwhile, a robber running away with a money bag symbolizes both desperation and audacity.

Pierrot's stolen roasted partridge is immortalized in an enchanting engraving from 1880 titled "The Cat Steals Pierrot's Roasted Partridge. " From centuries ago comes "The Fool Of Reuter And Schreiber" (1660-86), depicted through brush and Indian ink on paper - reminding us that foolishness often accompanies thieving endeavors. Similarly, "The Fox-Tailed Jester" portrays another whimsical character involved in illicit activities. Lastly, we encounter an amusing illustration from 1936 named "The Parroquet -- To The Thief. . " where a parrot exposes feline mischief while screaming for justice.
