La Voleuse, meaning 'the thief', is a 1966 French drama film directed by Jean Chapot, with a screenplay by Marguerite Duras.[1] In German, the film was titled Schornstein Nr. 4 ("Chimney No. 4").

Set in Germany, it tells the story of a childless couple where the wife (Romy Schneider) steals back a little boy she gave away in her teens and the husband (Michel Piccoli) gradually persuades her that the childless couple who lovingly raised the child have the better claim.
