Hinder, Arrest, and Impede all have similar meanings, all referring to obstructing or slowing down a process or action.

"Steal", on the other hand, refers to taking something that belongs to someone else without permission, which is different from the concept of obstruction or delay.

Hence, Steal is odd among them.
