I'm not really sure, to be honest. Neither got caught while they were stealing. I guess I'll just go with Aladdin.

They both seem really skilled, but Aladdin may have been doing it longer (since her was always poor) so I'll go with him.

Seems more agile.

@firegirl1515- I think Flynn might've always been poor, he was an orphan. Aladdin had parents at one point.

They were both pretty impressive, really. Flynn with stealing the Tiara right off the Stabbington brothers' noses and Aladdin stealing an apple from the merchant to "compensate" for the one that Jasmine's took.
But I think Flynn stealing the Tiara from the Stabbington brothers' was more awesome cause he'd done it while he was climbing.

Aladdin only steals food so he can survive while Flynn steals valubles and jewels

@princesslullaby: I was going to give a better explanation, but I was afraid it would be spoiler. Oh well, most people here have seen Tangled anyways.

Since Flynn lived at an orphanage, I'm sure that they wouldn't have let him run around stealing things from shops- if they found him to have a knack for taking what's not his, they'd keep him inside. However, it seems to me that Aladdin was given free reign over the marketplace from a very young age. And since his father left and his mother died when he was very young, he was forced to steal. At least Flynn had people to take care of him. And it's obvious that Flynn never planned on being a thief, so when he left the orphanage I don't think that would be his first career choice- he would've tried other things.

^I agree with you, firegirl1515. Also, Aladdin appears more nimble and agile. I don't think Flynn would be able to pull off all of those stunts Aladdin did as smoothly. XD

Probably not as smoothly but by accident. XD Like the time he wound up on Maximus's back when he swung around and kicked the guard off. Hehe.

well, Aladdin only steals small, unguarded things, like bread and apples. Flynn steals incredibly valuable, highly guarded things, like the tiara.

I agree with percyandpotter plus Aladdin sometimes gives away what he's stolen to people less fortunate than him while Flynn takes things only for himself

i agree with firegirl. well said

Absolutely. Flynn didn't have a song number while stealing something.

At least Aladdin was only stealing to survive, "Gotta eat to live gotta steal to eat" and I can't get over how sweet it is when he gives the little starving kids his bread. Al's just a great guy in a bad situation, but Flynn is stealing to pay for a private island... and up until the end of the movie all of his actions are about getting money so yeah... Aladin is the better thief. But in terms of talent they both are caught, manage to get away, and then caught again and thrown in jail just to escape so they're the same in those regards lol
