run off with

Steal and flee

To run off with something is to take it and leave, often implicitly without permission: Someone ran off with my umbrella.

To run off with a person is to elope or leave suddenly together, usually romantically and often scandalously: She ran off with her personal trainer.

The phrase suggests impulsiveness and sometimes betrayal.
