Thief 2 is the only game that has come even close to replicating the feeling I had dumpster diving after dark. It gives you the exact same type of butterflies in your stomach and the same elation when the job goes off without a hitch.

Nothing else gives the same satisfaction of planning out a route for a bank heist or infiltrating Soulforge and then pulling it off without getting detected.
