Wikipedia definition
2. Gentleman thiefIn the Victorian vernacular, a gentleman thief (also known as a classy cat burglar or phantom thief) is a particularly well-behaving and apparently well bred thief. A "gentleman or lady" is usually, but not always, a man with an inherited title of nobility and inherited wealth, who need not work for a living. Such a person steals not in order to gain material wealth, but for adventure; they acts without malice.
