Have you ever had a time where the rogue in your party did something absolutely ridiculous and/ or stole everything? I’ll be playing a rogue soon and am hoping for some ideas. Once a rogue in my campaign pickpocketed a villain while they were monologuing and stole the McGuffin, after which they acted like they gave up and booked it out of there.
There's one I watch where the first action is almost always: "I immediately hide!"

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
Not in D&D, but still applicable, I think. Was playing a thief in an Exalted game and there was a magical artifact in the possession of a corrupt aristocrat that the party needed. The plan was to leave the city, but take the artifact with us. So my thief character infiltrated the noble manor, past all the guards and traps, had excellent rolls throughout, was basically a ghost. He made it all the way up to putting his hand on the artifact itself when I as a player realized that I was so eager to steal the thing that I had enacted the plan an entire day early.
I asked the ST if I could retcon it, but he said it was totally the kind of bird brained thing my character would do, as he had taken Intelligence as his dump stat. So I went ahead with it and hoped for the best. Whaddya know, I botched my rolls getting OUT of the place and flew out of there with my tailfeathers on fire.

Canto alla vita alla sua bellezza ad ogni sua ferita ogni sua carezza!
I sing to life and to its tragic beauty To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!

A funny thing my group does is whenever the rogue is doing something sneaky we'll play the pink panther theme. Always makes the situation funnier.

Besides starting a gang underneath Waterdeep where they grow and sell a poison harvested from Blackroses, nah, rogues never do anything strange.
Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
Spells, Monsters, Subclasses, Races, Arcknight Class, Occultist Class, World, Enigmatic Esoterica forms
Had a rogue try to hide in a 'wall of brush'. We described it as being the Homer Simpson gif.
