I Was part of a gang that burglarized TONS of stuff from everyone in Wurm online, which was a MMO based on permanence of player-created objects and terraforming. This game was characterized by taking forever to get anything done or made so as to reinforce the importance of any accomplishment.
We Typically broke into shit at the wee hours of the A.M. breaking walls or whatever needed to be done and lifted everything that wasn't nailed down and dragging it down into our troll-cave hideout. We once stole a very large and very expensive sailing vessel from someones dock at night by quickly completing its construction with our own supplemental parts and shipbuilding skill and sailed it right out before morning. We very skillfully maintained our well-liked helpful neighbor personas and played along with everyone else in the kingdom blaming the robberies on "Those goddam raiders again!," pretty much the Wurm boogeymen whom were actual hostile players of opposing kingdoms, but whom seldom attacked, rarely attacked undetected, and realistically had no interest in stealing horses, carts, garden gnomes, furniture, or completing large construction projects in order to steal them. I collected stolen carts; I pushed them bad-boys into the nearby lake where nobody could get at them for funsies.
I pulled a similar "heist" involving the "theft" of a large amount of dirt from an inconspicuous area at night which was illegal. It was illegal because it created a large hole that people would fall in, break their legs, and be unable to climb out of. Admins had to come out and fill it with developer tools. We did the same thing the next night. It's difficult to describe how very funny we thought this was.
The thing is, despite causing about 80% of the major burglaries in our own kingdom, we never EVER got caught.
