The gang members committed dozens of armed robberies.

Theft is the crime of stealing.

Art theft is now part of organised crime.

If you glide somewhere you move silently and in a smooth and effortless way.

Waiters glide between tightly packed tables bearing trays of pasta.

Potter’s wheel

Meals on wheels

Spare wheel

Spinning wheel

Steering wheel

You can also kind of fly by using a paraglider. Interestingly enough, the German translation of ‘you are flying’ is ‘du fliegst’ which also means ‘you’ll get/you are getting fired’.
