Vlad was so obsessed with honesty among his kingdom that a single lie could mean a person's demise. This is not to mention a thief - who would be ultimately tortured and impaled.
Vlad was so confident about his kingdom's honesty that during his reign he placed a cup made of gold in a public plaza for people to drink water from. The sole requirement was for the user to return the cup after its drinking from it. During Dracula's reign, the cup was never stolen because any thief certainly knew what would await him if caught.
