The Thief
Le Voleur is French for the Thief. In 1828, during the birth and rise of the newspaper, Emile de Girardin had a novel idea on how to use the newest writing technology, the printing press. He and a friend decided to start a periodical, but since they lacked capital, the weekly was entitled Le Voleur (The Thief) and it reprinted the best articles that had appeared elsewhere during the week, saving editorial costs.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF "THE THIEF"
To The People of "The Thief":

It is time that many people on this board start adding their flavor, taste, and opinions to articles posted on this site. Failure to do so will only create an environment which is boring, unstimulating, and useless. "The Thief" will never survive long-term if it fails to act on my suggesstion. It seems that there are only a few people on this board who actively participate and offer strong suggesstions and opinions to articles posted.

Many kudos should be given out to the individuals who have contributed to the knowledge of this website, including the "silent assasian," "collin cartier," and "27." It is quite easy to post documents on this website, but to not voice your opinion on an article is tragic and goes against the whole concept of what this site is supposed to be. I encourage every member of "The Thief" to start engaging in insigghtful dialogue and start making this website what it can be by adding comments to posted articles. Thank you.

Signed,

XXX

The tone of the articles we post should give some insight into what fascinates/repulses us.
