S Ben Price Nov 15, 2008:
US or UK English? (sneak thief must be UK, never heard it before)
Christine Walsh Nov 15, 2008:
I've heard 'descuidistas', something like pickpockets, but it's probably local.
Gilberto Diaz Castro (asker) Nov 15, 2008:
El titulo lee:"Descuideros de ropa", yo tampoco había escuchado la palabra descuideros y no tengo idea de qué significa.
Eloi Castellví Alonso Nov 15, 2008:
Is it "descuidos" or just "descuideros", referring to the thieves? I've never heard this term, before.
