People will take anything not nailed down.

I had a couple of cathead cobbles stacked at the end of my driveway.
Somebody filched them.

Some do. Some don't. All depends on how much they paid attention in school. I pretty much spell everything the proper way. Well as much as I spell anything properly when not paying attention to what I actually wrote.
