Looks like

lad = a young man (informal British English)

⚠️ The trap

'Ladro' = thief. It sounds a bit like 'lad' in English but means something completely different. 'Al ladro!' = 'Stop thief!' — a useful phrase to know but hopefully never needed. 'Lad' in Italian is 'ragazzo' or 'giovanotto'.

To say "lad = a young man (informal British English)" in Italian:

ladro (thief); ragazzo/giovane (lad)

"ladro" in English means:

thief, robber, burglar

Example

"Al ladro!"

"Stop thief!"
