Thief Knot
An unusual binding knot used to
secure a rope or line around an object.
Easily confused with, although
much less secure than, the
Square Knot (see pp.85–86).
Historically used by sailors to safeguard
their bags—a thief would be likely to
simply retie the bag using a Square Knot
and thus betray their transgression.
