      För de bestulna ter sig denna förmåga som vit magi, ehuru de har sina tvivel om det rätta i att använda den, man borde väl hellre ta stöldförsäkring? För tjuven är det däremot utan tvekan svart magi.
      For those who have been robbed, this ability seems like white magic, although they have their doubts about the rightness of using it, one should take out theft insurance, right? For the thief, however, it is undoubtedly black magic.
