Kleptograph
Created by: splendiction
Pronunciation: KLEP to graf

To get a good frame of the body part you want, use an expensive digital camera, preferrably one with an image stabilizer. Practise! practise! will allow for stealth in sneaking your kleptographs.
Etymology: kleptograph n. or v. is from the words kleptomania (urge to take) and photograph.
