Can we get some citations for 3. 'To acquire from another by theft ...'? I can certainly remember the word being used in this sense in 2004 in Australia, but does anyone have an origin? The first urban dictionary definitions are about going into a country and shooting the locals. Not until 2009 do we see a definition similar to "steal". 1.127.107.41 12:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC) Possibly Steal This Book by Hoffman is a early example? Or are there much earlier examples? 1.127.107.41 12:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
