Answer 1

There is a poem called Stealing by Carol Ann Duffy, I'm not sure how well it will work for you, but I hope it helps.

Answer 2

Right up your street but perhaps too long to quote in full would be the classic "Jackdaw of Rheims"

They turn up the dishes,—they turn up the plates,—
They take up the poker and poke out the grates,
—They turn up the rugs,
They examine the mugs:
But no!—no such thing;

They can’t find THE RING!

And the Abbot declar’d that, “when nobody twigg’d it,
Some rascal or other had popp’d in and prigg’d it!”

Answer 3

Oh yes. Alexander Pope was the greatest poet of the 18th century and the greatest dwarf poet of all time. Check out The Rape of the Lock. The title doesn't quite mean what you may think it does.

Answer 4

my heart is a treasure
and her eyes
are like gypsies in the night
stealing their way
into the silken tent
of my soul
where rubies and gold
lay hidden
awaiting the light
of her desire
