<p>There's no limit on attempts per turn, but you do have to discard a card to attempt it, so you can't just attempt forever. From <a href="http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/faq/" rel="noreferrer">the FAQ</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Q. How often can a Thief steal?</p>
<p>A. As long as he has cards to discard.</p>
<p>Q. What happens to a Level 1 Thief who fails an attempt to steal? Does he die?</p>
<p>A. Nothing happens to him. You can't go below Level 1. (Beware the Level 1 Thief – he literally has nothing to lose!)</p>

<p>Assume I'm a level 1 Thief. Is there a limit to the number of times I attempt to steal something? Can I just attempt over and over again until I get the thing? Does it even have to be on my turn?</p>

Assume I'm a level 1 Thief. Is there a limit to the number of times I attempt to steal something? Can I just attempt over and over again until I get the thing? Does it even have to be on my turn?
