Answer 2

"The thief knew that remaining hidden was the best strategy to avoid being caught"

Explanation:

                    I wonder if you have noticed that when birds or squirrels see like a predator, they give out an alarm call to their fellow creatures, of the lurking danger. They put themselves in to danger to save the lives of others.

Many animals, like the salmon, usually die after they spawn, but this does not stop them. One life extinguished for the improvement of others is a small price to pay.
