One chief reason for which the honest thief is not underrated is that he understands the language of skill, stealth, adaptability and portability. And that is how they speak. Through rigour and discipline they acquire the skills necessary for survival. They begin, develop and horn their skills from fighting other people’s battle. And because one of the governing principles in nature claims that if you are faithful and dutiful in that which belongs another, you will be compensated with your own, they get ‘rewarded’ by and by.

The honest thief values exceptional skills and uncommon abilities because they provide relatively easy leverage over others at the time of execution. His work is ‘always precise, clean.’
