Jacket.
The joke “How do you steal a coat? Jacket” is a play on words that hinges on the double meaning of the term “jacket.” The setup, “How do you steal a coat?”, prompts listeners to anticipate a method or strategy for theft, perhaps something sneaky or clever. The punchline, “Jacket,” delivers a humorous twist. In one sense, “jacket” is a synonym for a coat, a type of outerwear. However, “jacket” also sounds phonetically similar to “jack it,” where “jack” is a slang term meaning to steal or take something.
