First rule of thievery, ' Eli said, grinning, 'only run if you're not coming back.' (...) 'First rule of thievery, never use the same entrance twice.' Miranda rolled her eyes. 'How many 'first rules' of thievery do you have?' 'When one mistake can mean your head on a pike, every rule's a first rule, ' Eli said cheerfully. Rachel Aaron
About This Quote

In this quote, from the movie 'Miranda' by George Miller, Eli and Miranda are discussing the art of thievery while walking through a deserted street. As they walk, they tell each other how to be a thief. The first rule - only run if you're not coming back - is a useful warning. The second rule - only use the same entrance twice - is a very useful tip. Both have been known to be followed by some miscreants!
