Thieving is a skill that allows players to obtain coins and items by stealing from stalls, chests or by pickpocketing NPCs.
Pickpocketing
This is the action of walking up to an NPC and right-clicking them, then selecting Pickpocket. In the case of the Master Farmer, only a single left click is required to attempt to pick his pocket. If successful, you will gain Thieving experience alongside some coins or various items. The higher the thieving level, the more NPCs the player is pickpocket from.
However, it is possible for the NPC to notice a pickpocket, in which case the NPC will yell "What do you think you're doing?" and will stun you for a few seconds and deal damage. Because of the possibility for damage, it is recommended that players bring healing familiars or foods such as cakes that can be stolen from cake stalls.

Training Method
Stalls are located at the Skilling Zone, slightly left of the teleport location. Players are highly recommended to train Thieving here as one gains double experience inside the zone.

Donators have access to Donator Stalls, which are located in the Donator Zone(::dz) south of the zone. Each rank gets their own stall.
Level 1-25: Food Stall
Steal from the Food Stall from level 1 to 25. You will gain roughly 60 coins and a sliced banana which can be sold for 5 skill tickets
Level 25-50: General Stall
Steal from the General Stall from level 25 to 50. You will gain from 130 to 150 coins and a cake tin which can be sold for 10 skill tickets
