Sure they did. It is just they only believed in Gypsy property rights.
It is a rather common view point.
I read an article about the prisons in Romania years ago, which didn’t represent the population at large-—the gypsies were the largest group incarcerated—much larger amount than percentage in the population. The article attributed it to their lack of respect for other people’s personal property. :)
That is the only thing I have really ever read about “gypsies” other than in books, like Hugo’s Esmerelda.
