Thief is the antagonist of the 1983 Atari 2600 game Keystone Kapers. In MKF, he appears in Pixel Factory and steals the flag from the pole and runs off, forcing the player to give chase. He leaves a bomb behind to cover his escape, that starts exploding shortly after the player runs past it. The last section of the level is a non-scrolling RUN! section where the player has to escape from the massive blast wave caused by the bomb, that is rippling throughout the factory destroying everything in it's path. The player will need to evade a number of obstacles placed in his or her path in order to avoid being blown to pieces and reach the true flagpole, where a helpful policeman (also from Keystone Kapers) has apprehended the thief and restored the flag to its pole.
