A serial killer who kills four is objectively twice as bad as a double-murderer and yet both crimes are off the charts when it comes to morality. All crime is bad but it's still a consolation in terms of the number of victims to be slightly evil rather than fully evil:
"A gentleman thief is a stock character in fiction. A gentleman or lady thief usually has inherited wealth and is characterised by impeccable manners, charm, courteousness, and the avoidance of physical force or intimidation to steal. As such, they steal not only to gain material wealth but also for the thrill of the act itself, which is often combined in fiction with correcting a moral wrong, selecting wealthy targets, or stealing only particularly rare or challenging objects." - Wiki
