    @oddspacee   Stealing is one of the things that NPC sims do when the Sharing is Caring NAP is active in the zone.  So to stop it, you need to repeal that NAP.

    You can repeal it during the next voting period by voting to repeal and collecting 5 signatures from other sims out and about in the zone.  It will then be repealed when the voting period ends on Monday night.

    Or you can do it the quick way by using the debug cheat on the mailbox or if you are playing in any of the Evergreen Harbor zones, the neighborhood sign.  To do that you need to turn testingcheats on and then shift right click on the mailbox or sign and you will get options to immediately repeal or enact any NAP available in that zone.

    Hope this helps.
