Kleptos cannot swipe successfully if they are being observed, that is, if another Sim (even a baby) is in the room and conscious.The item is then deposited into the klepto's household inventory. After swiping, the klepto gains an energized +1 moodlet named "Exhilarating Steal" which lasts from a couple to several hours, possibly based on the value/rarity of the item stolen.All Sim-portable objects, from a dirty dish to the fantastically valuable Virtuoso Violin, can be swiped.

A mirror mounted on a wall cannot be swiped, but a decorative panel mounted on a wall can be. All pieces of art can be swiped, even if they have no real physical form, such as a graffiti tag. That said, which items can and cannot be swiped isn't entirely intuitive an enormously heavy antique grand piano the size of a small car can be stuffed into a klepto's pocket, but a folding easel or a teapot cannot. The item must not be in their own home, and it must not be a building fixture (major appliances, counters, fireplaces, wall lamps, etc.).Kleptomaniacs gain a new interaction with every item they can possibly take, called "Attempt to Swipe.".
