When an invading people(Mexicans, Central Americans)take valuable property from the native population it is called a “SACK” not theft. See the “SACK” of Rome by the invading Goths in the 400’s A.D.
Interestingly enough, ‘getting sacked’ is also a brit term for ‘getting fired’. Of course the more common pommie term is “Discharged”, but far more polite than ‘getting the boot’ as in ‘booted out’ would be.
