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.
