Thieving
is a skill that you can earn items and money from. You can thieve in many ways, from pick pocketing people, picking locks
on chests, to stealing from stalls, and disarming traps to get to different areas. Pickpocketing can be used on many non-playing
characters, from a man all the way to a hero. You cannot pickpocket other players. Lock picking doors can help you get into
secret rooms with treasure, though getting to the treasure may not be as easy as you thought. You may have to disarm traps
in places like a staircase, chests, among other things to get to the treasure. Starting Thieving at level one will require
pickpocketing a man until your level gets higher.
To pickpocket
someone, all you have to do is right click on the non-playing character (NPC) and choose the "Pickpocket" option. There is
a chance that the NPC you are trying to pickpocket will catch you and attack you, thereby stunning you. The higher your Thieving
level, the better your chance of successfully pickpocketing.

There are now more stalls in Ardougne’s Market Square.
To steal from market stalls
go to Ardougne (that is the only place that has a bunch). Right click on a stall and use the "Steal from" option. If when
stealing from a stall you fail, the stall owner may just yell at you, or a Guard, Knight or Paladin will attack you. The more
valuable the products on the stall are, the more people who watch it. You are better off waiting until they are either dead
or distracted with somebody else (if you can not kill them yourself).

Certain
objects such as chests and stairs have traps on them. To find a trap, all you need to do is right click on the chest and see
if there's an option to "search for traps." If you choose not to disarm a trap then you receive damage to your hit points.
If you have a high enough thieving level then you will be able to disarm it. Traps will reset after a certain amount of time.
Within the world of thieving, you will find many chests that you can
disarm and retrieve treasure. These chests vary in treasure from gold coins, steel arrowheads, Nature Runes, Blood Runes,
and even Adamantite ore.

For some doors in Runescape, you may have to pick their
locks to open them. To pick a door's lock, simply right click on it and then select the picklock option. As your level increases
in thieving, you will be able to access places you couldn't have gone before. The doors will eventually re-lock so you can
pick them again.
To get the Lockpick you have to pickpocket Rogues in the Wilderness until you get one. You can use
this lockpick for areas in the Wilderness or other places that require it. A lockpick will also make opening locked doors
an easier task.
