In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny; in others, theft has replaced larceny.Someone who carries out an act of or makes a career of theft is known as a thief, and the act of theft is known as stealing, thieving, or sometimes filching.

Lie: (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others.To lie is to state something with disregard to the truth with the intention that people will accept the statement as truth.A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly - even when not necessary.Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. Other forms of deception, such as disguises or forgeries, are generally not considered lies, though the underlying intent may be the same. However, even a true statement can be used to deceive. In this situation, it is the intent of being overall untruthful rather than the truthfulness of any individual statement that is considered the lie.
