“The thief received prior recognition for his habit.”
Meaning
This proverb illustrates that a person's reputation or name precedes them for their bad deeds. If a thief repeatedly steals, his name is already known as a 'thief'; it shows that people expect bad things from him. This means that a person is known by their repeated actions (especially bad actions), and what is expected of them is already known beforehand.
