Thieves Can't

A language where no matter how you speak, it's never going to be the same as when you write it. Thieves Can't is a language that's not a language. It's phrases and codewords that may mean nothing to a normal person but to a person trained in the language, they are told something completely different. You may hear about a new seafood restaurant but another person might hear about a dead drop at the docks. Thieves Can't is specific to the area you speak it in so criminals from different regions will never use the same lingo.
 
On the writing side, Thieves Can't could be written like it's spoken for someone who wants to make sure only specific people will get the information. However, another style of Thieves Can't is coded signs and symbols that speak to a criminal and let them know specific information. It's a complex network of symbols and wordings that must be taken with care. Because when Thieves Can't is involved, someone's life and/or money is usually on the line.
