Can be set to "yes" or "no" and determines whether or not this [[InfantryType]] can enter a [[VehicleType]] and capture it in a similar manner to an [[Engineer]] capturing a [[BuildingType]]. In RA2/YR this behaviour only works if the unit also has [[Thief]] set as yes, otherwise it only gets the "enter" cursor on a unit, but cannot in fact enter it. This is then further complicated by the fact that [[Thief]] also allows the unit to enter a refinery to no effect (in RA it allowed the unit to steal a percentage of money from the other player). To fix this the unit either requires [[Agent]] set to yes (giving full RA2 spy abilities) or [[Infiltrate]] set to "no". [[NonVehicle]] set to "yes" on a unit prevents a VehicleThief from capturing that unit.

Specifies whether or not this InfantryType can enter an enemy VehicleType and capture it in a similar manner to an Engineer capturing a BuildingType. Also referred to as 'hijacking'.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, the InfantryTypes must also have Thief=yes set otherwise it will get the 'enter' cursor on the target VehicleType but will not, in fact, be able to enter it. Thief=yes also allows the InfantryType to enter enemy ore refineries, so the InfantryType also needs to be given Agent=yes and Infiltrate=yes (giving it full Red Alert 2 Spy capabilities), or Infiltrate=no

NonVehicle=yes set on a VehicleType prevents a VehicleThief from capturing it, however this also invokes additional, possibly undesirable logic.
