"Theft is the restitution, the regaining of possession. Instead of being cloistered in a factory, like in a penal colony; instead of begging for what I had a right to, I preferred to rebel and fight my enemy face to face by making war on the rich, by attacking their goods."

Marius Jacob was born on September 29, 1879, in Marseille, France. He was a French anarchist who used his skills as a burglar to further his political ideals. Jacob carried out his first robbery at the age of 15 and went on to become the leader of a gang known as 'The Night Workers', who would burglarise the homes of the wealthy.
Jacob died on August 28, 1954, in Reuilly, France. His philosophy of illegalism and his overt actions against the bourgeoisie were significant contributions to anarchist thought. He edited and published several anarchist journals and was a major influence on later anarchists such as the Bonnot Gang.
