Maybe I'm naive, but, perhaps Sly's mother wasn't sure for her son if becoming a master thief would be a good idea. Of course, Sly says being one only means you're stealing from other thieves, but still, stealing is wrong. On the other hand, the things those other thieves steal get wrongfully taken, and Sly is determined to steal them back. And even as a wanted criminal to regular people who get involved with him, he too, fights for justice. My point is, back when Sly was a child, before both his parents were killed, his mother seemed to be concerned with her husband about their son following in his ancestors' footsteps. Then again, after stealing back good things that were wrongfully taken, Sly might be willing to give what he steals from the bad, to the good. Just as Aladdin did, tossing his stolen treasure to the poor people in the villages of Agrabah. Those were such good times. After all, you know what they say. It takes a thief to catch a thief.
