Might I introduce you to the works of Maurice Leblanc and his most famous character, the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, codifier of the phantom thief trope.
He would sent a message telling his victim that he planned to steal their most valuable treasure, and then would leave a letter behind afterwards explaining exactly how he did it.
Mostly known outside of France today from his appearance as Joker’s initially Persona in Persona 5, and his Franco-Japanese grandson, Lupin the Third.
Lupus is the Latin word for wolf. Remus’ last name is Lupin.
And the namesake of his first name was mythically suckled under a wolf.
Which is French for “steal something valuable in the most obvious way to show people how smart you are”.
