小偷儿 (xiǎo tōur): thief

Yesterday on the bus, a pickpocket took advantage of the crowd and stole an old lady's wallet.

Police remind citizens to be especially careful of thieves in train stations and shopping malls.

The thief had just put his hand into someone else's pocket when he was caught by a plainclothes police officer.

My home was visited by a thief last week; we lost a laptop and some cash.
