I'd assume/good luck for ...
Hi
In the book about magic the author writes:
Dishrags seem to have their own particular brand of magic. It's said to be good luck to steal a dishrag from a neighbor, but I don't recommend this. I'd assume it means you'll share in your neighbor's good times as well as bad, which is certainly good luck for your neighbor.
Does "I'd assume" here means "In my view ..."?
Does it say that it would certainly do my neighbor good? Is it what is meant by "good luck for your neighbor"? And it would do him good because if he had a bad day I would also had a bad day and this would make him happy? Or something else is implied?

Hi, 'I assume' means 'I think' or 'I believe' . It's said that if you steal your neighbor's dishrag, you'll have good luck. Yet, he doesn't recommend doing so; not only might you share his / her good times with them, but also you can have their bad times.

- After all, your neighbor won't be happy to hear you have stolen his / her dishrag, but they might be happy to hear you haven't gotten their "good luck" only (as you share their bad times with them as well).

Hi
So the part "which is certainly good luck for your neighbor" mean that the neighbor will be happy to hear I got his good luck?

Hi,
No. You didn't read my post carefully. Read it again. The neighbor won't be happy to hear you have
stolen his / her dishrag. However, since you've already done that, they might be happy to know
that you have gotten their bad luck as well.
