There's another question as well, who are you stealing from in the first place, and what are you stealing. Portable wealth and valuables are pretty concentrated in the hands of those who can likely make it hard for you to steal it the first place, and cause you problems later.

People who are easy to steal from and can't do much to about it afterwards tend not to have anything worth stealing unless you are going to get into stealing crops and livestock.
