!!''To Rob a Thief'' contains examples of:
* CaperRationalization: The group follow with the plan because their target sells ineffective products and the buyers genuinely think they work.
* GroinAttack: When Primitivo tries to forcibly kiss the nanny, already in the ground, he receives one. Although the attack is concealed by the bed, the pain face and the limping shortly after are more than enough to understand it was painful.
* HonorAmongThieves: Discussed. Alejandro points this out to Emilio while they are setting up the plan, but Emilio says it is different and for a noble cause.
* JustLikeRobinHood: The ultimate objective of the heist is [[spoiler: to return the values to all the affected people]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While Moctezuma is in the process of realizing he had all his money stolen, he orders his guards the already beat down Emilio to be locked in the toilet near them. That was the toilet used to escape with the money.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The assembled team for the heist, a bunch of Latino immigrants with no previous experience on professional thievery.
* TheLadette: Rafaela is this. She is presented fixing an engine car, is crude, agressive and does not embrace at all her feminine traits (until it is demanded by ThePlan).
* TreasureRoom: The highly-controlled vault storing all his money.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Emilio spits out blood when lying on the floor, which prompts Moctezuma to order him to be locked in the toilet. The blood was actually from a small capsule hidden in the mouth beforehand.
