What is stealing and how does it work?

Stealing, is when you go to a friend’s farm, or a friend comes to your farm, and uses the black glove to take some of the fully grown crops.

Initially, you have up to 5 grabs from each friend, and each grab can take 2 fruit/vegetables. Once you gain your stealing trophy, your available grabs will increase. Your amount of grabs available each day resets at midnight GMT.

As you are taking crops from your friend, this reduces what they are able to harvest, so there is a maximum amount that can be stolen from each fully grown crop. Once this maximum is reached, if you try and steal from that crop, you will receive a message letting you know that you need to leave some for the owner.

Also, if they have assigned a friend to look after a particular crop, you will not be able to take anything from that crop. If you try you will receive a message letting you know that that crop belongs to a friend.

You can use your friendship points to assign friends to look after your crops to protect them if you wish. Also, once you have a dog, the dog will also assist in protecting your crops.

Please remember that some people may not be keen about participating in this feature, so think before you swipe!
