You need to be careful with the word ****** because it has prurient connotations. The title should definitely not be A ****** Thief and the thieves should not be called snatchers. The only time you might use the word is in "snatched her handbag," and even that is a bit questionable, given the context of the story.

  • I would not use the word at all in this.
  • The text is pretty much okay otherwise.
