What does scratch a liar find a thief mean?

Answer 1

scratch; means "made up' from scratch OR fabricate ,

scratch the surface; if you dig a little deeper than a the surface or a "scratch" or "LIE"

-you will find the TRUTH- the only reason for the UNTRUTH is to not get caught for stealing- if you catch the FABRICATION you catch the theif which means catch someone stealing -hence - "Scratch a LIE, catch a THEIF"

the only reason to LIE is to avoid getting caught for being a theif for stealing. eg your bike is stolen, your friends shows up with a new used bike different color (usually flat black) if you scratch the flat black paint wit a key- You will probably find your old bike color underneath...!

Answer 2

It means that someone who will lie will more than likely steal also, and if you look inside a liar, you'll find a thief.

Answer 3

It means if you expose someone as a liar, you may also uncover other dishonest or shady behavior they're involved in. In simpler terms, one lie often leads to more lies or deceit being revealed. So, if you scratch the surface of a liar's story, you might just find a whole lot of thievery going on.

Answer 4

Think of a liar as a lotto ticket.. Instead of something good you find a thief 😅

Answer 5

You are a liar
