Harav Shimon Schwab did not like the use of the word steal when it came to the afikoman. he preferrred to say snatching the afikoman. The source of the minhag is that it was on Pesach night the Yaakov Avinu received the brochos. The Yitzchok tells Eisav “BAH ACHICHA B’MIRMA” and the word B’MIRMA has the same gematriah as afikoman.
