e/Gentleman thief

Information
has gloss	eng: In the Victorian vernacular, a gentleman thief is a particularly well-behaving and apparently well bred thief. A "gentleman" is usually, but not always, a man with an inherited title of nobility and inherited wealth, who need not work for a living. Such a man steals not in order to gain material wealth, but for adventure; he acts without malice. Gentlemen thieves rarely bother with anonymity or force, as they rely on their charm and good looks to steal the most unobtainable objects — sometimes for their own support, but also for the thrill of the act itself.
lexicalization	eng: Gentleman thief
instance of	(noun) a holdup man who stops a vehicle and steals from it road agent, highwayman, hijacker, highjacker
