Crib – to pilfer or steal
Regulus
)O(
Regulus had never had qualms about taking things that were not his. If he could take them, he reasoned, he had earned them. If the original owner could not be bothered to stop him, then the original owner did not deserve possession of whatever it was.
For much of his life, Regulus regarded this as something of a minor talent, a good way of collecting a bit of extra money or objects that he desired.
He never thought that stealing something would become the purpose of his life – or the reason for his death.
