City of Thieves (location)

"Be warned boy! All who enter the city, are destined to become thieves themselves!"-Hag

The City of Thieves is a location in Adventure Time. It is the main setting of the episode of the same name. Everyone who lives there is a thief, and spend most of their time stealing things from each other. According to the Hag, anybody who goes there will also become a thief, a fate that befell both Finn, who was tricked into stealing a chest, and Jake, who somehow stole a pair of boots without realizing it. There are so many thieves in the city that no one can hang on to something for more than a minute without it being stolen, though an unguarded shop is shown without experiencing any theft (Aside from Jake's). It is unknown if it used to be a regular village.

Appearance
It's a run-down village built on top of the shell of a giant turtle, surrounded by desert. In the middle of the city is a deserted tower belonging to the King of Thieves. The tower is protected by a magical barrier that keeps out all thieves.

Residents
The only character known by name in the city is Penny, it is unknown if the Hag herself is a resident. Other residents are in various forms instead of all being the same species.

Culture
The City of Thieves appeares to have very few rules if any at all. All of its residents appeare to be Mutants or magical creatures. It's unknown why all of its residents became greedy, but it may have had something to do with the Mushroom War, or some other disaster. It also seems that most residents have messy cloths and are barbaric.
