I believe the purpose of stealing, as with any crime, is often the thrill of being undiscovered. If people wanted to brag about their thefts, I would be out of a job, haha.
It is somewhat pretentious, isn't it? But a phantom thief is someone who announces their theft before it happens, as a sort of boast to the police. "At midnight tonight, I will steal the crown jewels!" ... and that sort of thing. It's quite a popular archetype in Japan.
From that appetising selection, I suppose... clear?
