He steals for the challenge/pleasure of the job and generally avoids violence while restricting his targets to those who can afford the loss. Murdering your target or stealing from them at gun point is not very gentlemanly. Like the Classy Cat-Burglar, the Gentleman Thief usually regards the police with a certain amount of disdain and condescension, and frequently leaves behind "calling cards" announcing who performed the crime; especially confident versions may announce their targets in advance to ensure a challenge. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
