Artemis Entreri. Technically an assassin, but he's a pretty good thief when he decides he wants to take something without killing someone.
Kaito Kid from Detective Conan and Magical Kaito series. He doesn't just steal, he makes a specticle of it and gets away dressed completely in white.
Unless one strives to be the world´s greatest and the most dashing thief. If the thief is both well-known and still uncaptured, he would have to be a real genius. Thieving for kicks usually aims for fame.Iron Mal said:
My vote goes to Arséne Lupin, a gentleman thief extraordinaire.
Holy crap, I didn't know she went that far. That totally beats out the Daleks stealing 27 planets.Kollega said:
Quite unoriginal of me, but I guess my vote goes to Bernard Madoff. He may not have stolen priceless art, or pulled the jewel heist of the century, but I'll be damned if roughly $65 billion isn't something to write home about.
Granted, people were foolhardy to believe that they could get the returns he was promising, and that that foolishness is what allowed him to get away with as much as he did. Still, though, that was quite the haul.
