Summary: 

>> Lets have some discussion on hack, and if theres enough then we

>> 
>> 1)	How many ways are there to steal from shopkeepers?

Five more ways in addition to those submitted by Dan ( the Man ) Bidinger
(which were: (1) let the dog steal something for you, and (2) polymorph
the shopkeeper, then kill the beastie).

3) Use a scroll of teleportation (frequently you can find one in the shop you're
   robbing ...).

4) Use a wand of digging and make another exit from the shop.

5) Use a wand of sleep on the shopkeeper (or a wand of teleport).

6) Quaff a potion of haste self (or invisibility), then sneak out.

7) Lure the shopkeeper away from the door by throwing something at him, take a
   risk of being killed, and sneak past him. Do it close to the door - the guy
   frequently seems to be hastened.

The best way, however, is to find a trapdoor in the shop.  I had this luck
once...
