Flag:	VehicleThief
File(s):	Rules(md).ini
Values:	Booleans
Default:	no
Applicable to:	InfantryTypes,VehicleTypes

Specifies whether or not this infantry can enter an enemy vehicle and capture it, also referred to as 'hijacking', in a similar manner to an Engineer capturing a building.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, the VehicleThief infantry must also have Thief=yes set, otherwise it will get the 'enter' cursor on the target vehicle, but will not be able to enter it.

A vehicle with NonVehicle=yes set, prevents a VehicleThief from capturing it, however there may be side-effects.

-Can be set to "yes" or "no" and determines whether or not this [[InfantryType]] can enter a [[VehicleType]] and capture it in a similar manner to an [[Engineer]] capturing a [[BuildingType]]. In RA2/YR this behaviour only works if the unit also has [[Thief]] set as yes, otherwise it only gets the "enter" cursor on a unit, but cannot in fact enter it. This is then further complicated by the fact that [[Thief]] also allows the unit to enter a refinery to no effect (in RA it allowed the unit to steal a percentage of money from the other player). To fix this the unit either requires [[Agent]] set to yes (giving full RA2 spy abilities) or [[Infiltrate]] set to "no". [[NonVehicle]] set to "yes" on a unit prevents a VehicleThief from capturing that unit.
