When a nymph or monkey successfully steals a worn item from hero, first the item is unworn, side-effects of that take place (most noticeably descending when losing levitation or flight) including feedback about such side-effects, finally "<Mon> steals <item>" and transfer from invent to thief's minvent. If the side-effects were fatal (such as drowning or burning up in lava), the player wouldn't see any explanation for why that happened. When a thief removes a worn item, give a message to that effect: "<Mon> takes off your <item>." That will usually be immediately followed by "She stole <item>." When the thief isn't a nymph or if any messages were delivered after the "takes off" one, the monster will be described by name: "<Mon> stole <item>."
