I was playing as a tourist a few nights ago and had a pretty dismal game
going so I did some experimentation. Learned two good ways to steal; and
they both depend on the fact that shopkeepers just keep ringing up the
bill mentally until you leave. That is, they don't know how much money
you have! So.......you use everything in his shop! Book shops are especially
good for this; there's bound to be a scroll of teleport there somewhere!
I also walked into a liquor shop, drank everything in sight, and then,
since I was a tourist and had tons of food, just waited for a leprechaun
to come in and I killed him and ate him and teleported out of there. Hey,
after the 3 potions of raise level it wasn't nearly as difficult as I
thought it would be! You also might be able to do this in a cane shop
with the wands, if you can identify a wand of fire or cold or something
equally destructive on the shopkeeper!
