   Plunder, v. To take the property of another without observing the
   decent and customary reticences of theft. To effect a change of
   ownership with the candid concomitance of a brass band. To wrest the
   wealth of A from B and leave C lamenting a vanishing opportunity.

   (Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, c. 1911)
