steals
Swipes without permission
Steals is the plural of the noun steal, which names an act of taking something without permission or payment.
In sports, a steal is when a player takes the ball from an opponent—a stat tracked in basketball and baseball especially.
Informally, a steal is a bargain so good it feels like you're getting away with something: That dress was a steal at twenty bucks.
As a verb form, steals means takes unlawfully or moves stealthily: She steals glances at him across the room.
