Definition: Disheriting, also known as the "dinner thief," is a type of theft where an individual or a group of individuals steals items from a person's home, apartment, car, or other property. This behavior can be particularly dangerous and often involves deceitful tactics such as lying to steal something valuable but not necessarily stealing it in the first place. Disheriting can result in significant financial losses for both the thief and the victim if they are not detected quickly enough.
