Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Con vs TheftA con is theft by deception, this is just theft. Hoping people don't count change is not exactly a masterstroke of misdirection.
While we're playing definitions, the difference (not in the least bit official outside of my head, granted) between a defensible con and just being an outright cunt is the morality of the victim. Leyxia was a cunt, because his victim was Mr Joe Average. World-eating mega-corps like Tesco would qualify as a valid target for the morality clause in my book, but alas without any clever deception you're just a thief. Bored now.
