If the newspaper is outdoors, and a Sim who is [[Fury|furious]] with someone in the household comes past, they may steal the newspaper and run off with it. This may happen even if a Sim is holding - or reading - the paper. In addition, a [[Personality#Qualities|mean]] Sim who comes by may steal the paper even if they don't know anyone in the household, or even if they are friends with one of the household members. Players should note that if the thief is interrupted after picking up the paper, the paper will probably still disappear. So, while a [[Robotics#SentryBot|SentryBot]]{{vgversion|OFB}} may react to a Sim who intends to steal a newspaper, it will often be unable to prevent the theft itself. However, the player can use the [[moveobjects]] cheat and move the newspaper to an inaccessible location, or move it inside the house. The would-be thief would walk towards it, be unable to get at it, and leave, aborting the theft entirely. Also, if an old newspaper is on the ground near the current newspaper, it might be stolen instead of the current newspaper.

In a [[college]] [[sub-neighborhood]], the newspaper is delivered to private houses, but is not delivered to [[Dormitory|dormitories]]. If a private house is chartered as a [[Greek house]], the newspaper will continue to be delivered, but it may or may not be delivered to premade Greek houses.{{Confirm}}
