🇬🇧 UK slang: 3 Ways to Say Something Was Stolen

With the help of Guy Ritchie's "Snatch" (2000), today we'll learn how to express that something was stolen/misappropriated:
#vocabulary

💰 to nick something (informal) — to steal something.
E.g.: "He won't fight unless we buy his mam a caravan, and you nicked all our savings."

🤑 to mug — to attack a person in a public place and steal their money.
E.g.: "- Well, I put it down there is case we got mugged. - You ain't from this planet, are you, Vincent? Who is gonna mug two black fellas holding pistols, sat in a car that's worth less than your shirt?"

🏦 blag — to snatch (wages, someone's handbag, etc); steal; to rob (esp a bank or post office).
E.g.: "- Bookies got blagged last night. - blagged? Speak English to me, Tony. I thought this country spawned the fucking language and so find that nobody seems to speak it. - blagged, robbed."
