This is a quick fan fiction story called To Catch A Thief. It has no correlation to the actual Hitchcock book or film. I just really liked the title and book cover. Enjoy! ;)

wasn't this the name of a TV show from the 60s or 70s?

in any case, great cast of damsels in this one!

Glad that you liked the story and the characters portrayed. ;) Regarding your question, I checked the Internet Movie Database. While To Catch A Thief was used multiple times as an episode title for various television shows, there was no listing for an actual show from that time period with that title.

It was a little (very little) before my time, but I think the series in question was called It Takes a Thief.
Richard(?) Wagner was the male lead character, IIRC.

The TV series starred Robert Wagner and (believe it or don't) Fred Astaire...
I was young, but it wasn't before my time...Then again, my family used to listen to the telegraph before we got a radio... ;)
