	Lawrence "Leeky" Llwyddianus-Bonheddwr is the principal lecturer in Breaking and ~~Decoratring~~ at the [[Thieves Guild]] School. In appearance a long-haired and extravagantly dressed somewhat foppish man presenting a deceptive aura of effeminacy, he practices this example of [[Anticrime]] under the auspices of the Guild. The crime involved, which the Guild can facilitate as a special surprise to a person to whom you wish to show the appropriate degree of thoughtful esteem, involves breaking into their house while they are away, and then redecorating it in a truly tasteless and appalling style using cheap and nasty materials.

	Requirements for a male practitioner are a velvet coat, iron self-confidence and a wonderful way with colours like puce, taupe and tern. Female requirements involve all the above but also a lot of teeth and a voice capable of cracking open a safe.
