Kender, who were similar to halflings and I think are now a variant, were notorious for this. Their schtick is that they "borrow" things from their party members, not understanding that it's theft. It gave assholes license to be assholes under the guise of roleplay, until the table inevitably needs a talk.
Yeah, they were one of the true things I hated about the dragon books. When one of the characters went back and time and discovered that kender were straight up banned from the 'supposedly good city' (oh how shocking) and was horrified, I just rolled my eyes. If even the author, with carte blanche to write whatever and however they wanted, couldn't make the habit cute, it's never going to happen at a playing table.
