Kleptomaniac Stealing Power.

I was scrolling around in the FAQ for no reason, and I noticed that it says in the "How Do I Steal" bit that "This works on public lots, like the art gallery, so you can rob them blind." This is not true. Last time I checked, you can only steal stuff from public lots if its out in the open, like in the park or something. I waited around for ages in the gym because I wanted the flat screen TV, and the "Swipe Something" never showed up when I clicked on the floor and it was 11 at night. I think EA patched it to make it like this. So, you can only steal from the neighbour's house, or public lots that are out in the open.

Thanks.  You're right that the Klepto trait has changed a bit since the game was first released.  Carl checks this board regularly, so he should see this soon.

I also noticed, if you steal something from in front of the art museum, items regenerate in a few sim days.  I didn't think they did, but my sim stole the statues in front and I was going to go into edit town and replace them and sure enough, there was more statues.  I thought I had read they did not come back.  I know cars don't, bummer. lol
