Thieving
Written By Salmoneus
Special Thanks To Bboyjyoung, Jimmy, Red_drago364, Chessmastuh, Neo Avatars, Bodybordguru, Damaged500, Wsox Rock, Hawk, Roy Thieving is definitely one of the most interesting skills in the game, with a variety of things for both the casual thief and the professional kleptomaniac to practice on. This Members-Only skill gives you the ability to pickpocket quick cash from characters, steal tasty cakes and disarm dangerous traps that you may run into while adventuring.
One of the most fun Members skills in RuneScape is thieving, as you can find a great number of things to do with the skill. When you first start off you can only enjoy a small part of the countless bounties to be earned from your new-found forte, but as you get more skilled a wider range of things can be done with it. There are several things that you can practice your thieving on as you get better, but remember that you need to be both stealthy and cautious. Each activity has a dangerous part to it, from a not-so-tough Man stunning you, to a Knight attacking you with full force. Helpful Drinks
By far, pick-pocketing a character in the game is a great
way to begin thieving. For a Your First Lesson Begin by finding a Man or Woman and right-clicking him or her. Choose the Pickpocket Man option, and you will try and steal from him. If you're quick enough, you will pocket a few coins, but if he catches you trying to steal from him you will get hit and stunned for several seconds. Depending on the character you steal from, you could get different amounts of coins, or even various items such as Runes or weapons. However, the higher the level required to pickpocket them, the harder it will be to steal from them, and the chance of getting caught will be greater.
How to Steal When a stall has loot in it, you will see exactly what you
can steal. To steal from a stall, you can either just click "Steal
Stealing from a stall may sound easy, and on a good day it is, but those pesky guards are always on the lookout. It's best to hide behind the stalls, on the side facing away from the guards. Since they can't see what's happening on the other side of the stall, you're safe... except for the Knights. You just have to watch for them, and as they approach you, stop thieving.
Notes
Sometimes you may come across a locked door inside of a building. Of course, a key would be helpful but what if there isn't one that belongs to the door? Well, that's when you use your thieving skill to pick the lock and get inside, and to a good thief it's a cinch to get in. To attempt to pick the lock of a door, just right-click it
and select "Pick Lock
Door." If
Commonly Locked Doors
Not only does your thieving skill give you the ability to steal things, but it also allows you to disarm a trap on a staircase or treasure chest. A trap could poison you, teleport you, or cause other damage, but by disarming the trap you can easily access the treasure in the chest, or walk up the stairs. To disarm a trap on a treasure chest, you need to right-click it and choose "Search for Traps Chest." To disable a trap on a staircase, select "Investigate Stairs" to find the trap. Be careful, because the trap will be reset later on. 
 After you search a treasure chest for a trap, you will open it up and look for any treasure. Some chests contain coins, while other may have Runes or other items inside. Chest Loot

you have enough experience at thieving you
will open the door and enter inside.Once a door has been opened, you don't have
to pick the lock again to leave. Remember though, that you'll need to pick the
lock again to go back inside after you leave. 
A Lockpick
can be of great use to any thief. You can steal them from Rogues, and they
allow you to open doors that would normally require a higher thieving
level. By picking a lock with it in your backpack, you may have an easier
time opening doors as well. You may also need to have a Lockpick in order
to open some doors.
