Night stealing is one of the systems that makes Grow a Garden 2 different from a quiet farming loop. The useful items are split across pets, gear, and crates: some help you steal, some help you see, and some help stop other players from taking fruit.
Compare each row by type and role before deciding whether your garden needs stealing power, better visibility, or stronger defense.

How night stealing choices split
Raccoon is the clearest stealing pet because it can steal fruit from empty gardens at night and raises the steal limit. Owl and Lantern help with night visibility. Bee, Black Dragon, Ice Serpent, Gnome, and several defensive crate pools help protect your garden.
Stealth and mobility gear such as Invisibility Mushroom and Teleporter fit aggressive routes. Defensive pets, owner doors, traps, and fences fit players who would rather protect fruit than raid other gardens.
Bee, Black Dragon, Ice Serpent, Gnome, Owner Door Crate, Bear Trap Crate, and Fence Crate are defensive choices for protecting crops.
Raccoon, Teleporter, and Invisibility Mushroom are the clearest rows for aggressive night routes.
Owl and Lantern help you see or respond better at night.
