Because letting someone know that you stole X thing kinda defeats the entire purpose. I mean this like /em took Player's trophy and placed it in her bag without being seen isn't really what I call thieving. So how do you actually roleplay as a thief or a burglar?
More over, I guess you can just go into another person's mansion and steal an item from there but how will they know it's missing?
Forgive my english. Im not adept at it.
I want to call attention to this, because I don't feel it's true. OOC communication to help establish a framework for a story can be very effective! Otherwise, you know, you're either godmoding in a result without considering their countermeasures/awareness/whatever and that's prone to get you treated like a real life burglar, which is to say not well at all.
You have two options from what I can see: You can either do a lot of your thievery off-screen and just try to find mutual contacts who do the same, or you can ask around to see if anyone would be interested in writing with you. Given the give-and-take nature of collaborative roleplay, you kind of need explicit permission from someone before doing something that impacts them negatively and personally.
