Commentary:
Want to confuse a would-be thief? Arrogate! It sounds both futuristic and archaic at the exact same time. Alternatively you might use it to confuse would be theft victims by making them think you’re visiting their house in order to perform some type of maintenance involving air, or gates, or both, when in fact you are there to arrogate their property. Sneaky sneaky!
