no stealing
Don't take things
No stealing is a basic moral and legal principle prohibiting the taking of what belongs to others.
It appears as a rule in religious codes, children's ethics lessons, and posted signs.
The phrase functions as a command or reminder: No stealing—that includes office supplies.
Sometimes used humorously to mark territory over shared food or possessions.
