Purloin

Purloin

<per-loyn>

steal; loot; rob;

to take something that does not belong to you.

The seagull will purloin your fries if you don't watch him.

Memory trick:
purloin reminds of purr lion
The lion purrs after he takes your stuff.

At work:
They can't purloin our files because we use strong passwords.
