      LOL! But even so how many patois speakers would say "stoled"

        das why miseh, jamaican english... 'stoled' is not patwah... if the americans can say 'thunk' (as in 'who would have thunked it'), jamaicans can say stoled... it is the jamaican past participle of steal... lol...

          it's just bad patois!!! if it was formalised it would have been easy to correct this transgressor.
