Go Thieve by primitive-concept
A very liberal take on Go Fish.
You're a thief with a serious case of kleptomania... or maybe just hoarding? Any item you steal, you absolutely must complete its full thematic set, or you'll never be satisfied. Fresh out of jail, with nothing but your wits and your grubby stealy hands, you must steal and steal and steal until your craving is satisfied.
Any item of a set you acquire, you must complete the collection before your kleptomania is sated.
During your thieving travails, you'll always attempt to find another item the fits into one of the existing sets you've already obtained, but should you not find one that fits... well, that won't stop you! You'll grab another random item, and you'll have yet another collection to complete.
Stealing isn't guaranteed, however. Fail, and you'll end up in jail, and you'll have to figure out a means of escape.
Ah, but in the event you complete a collection, yet your kleptomania remains, those completed collections will assist you in your trials! Spy kits, thieving kits... marital aids? Each set can help you in some way, even if it's not immediately obvious how.

Really interesting concept, I remember seeing a lot of flash games in the early 2000's and this reminded me strongly of the (hundreds? of) hours I spent on them.
I think there's a bug with the Guard Uniform? I thought it was supposed to keep me from going to jail? But then I went to jail?
Art is great as always. I'm surprised you got so many portraits and icons done! Overall, a very solid entry!
