The most commonly accepted translation is Phantom Thief.
They're a dying breed, really. There's not too many people willing to dedicate their life to developing the skills. And if they do, there's usually something that they're after and once they've found it...
[A shrug.]
They're called Phantom Thieves because they're impossible to catch. Like a phantom. They're already gone before you even notice that they were even there.
But there's one back home who chooses to make a spectacle of his crimes. A show that everyone is invited to come watch. A show that he issues invitations to the police and to the public, like a little stamped ticket with the time and the place written in red ink. He chooses to steal things right in front of your eyes.
Yet for twenty years now, he's still being referred to as a phantom thief. Why do you think that is?
