burglar's

Belonging to crook

Burglar's is the possessive form of burglar—a person who breaks into buildings to steal.

It typically modifies tools or methods associated with the crime: burglar's kit, burglar's mask.

A burglar's dozen is a humorous term for thirteen, supposedly because thieves take one extra.
