- Can't say I've heard it myself but Google finds 1,600 hits for "thiefed" or "thiefing" alone. It'd be best to get some rough demographic of when and who and where for such a seemingly recent slang usage. Hippietrail 14:00, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Could it be an odd pronunciation of thieve, maybe? Ortonmc 21:07, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
