@hagi @zemichi That means 39. He TRIED to steal 40, but stole only 39. He possibly destroyed one of them, but stealing is about getting something. And I am sure he didn't get that one.

@LukeAlmighty @zemichi stealing is about taking something away. It now depends on where he was the moment he lost the pancake. If he was still in the bakery, then yes, he failed to steal that one. Otherwise, he stole it and then lost it.
