Slang for to steal — to take something that doesn't belong to you. A relatively obscure term in this sense, appearing in various regional slang dictionaries without a clear regional home. The word has a furtive, petty quality fitting its meaning: not grand theft, but quietly pocketing something. Similar in register to 'nick' or 'pinch' in British slang.
Someone had kifed the office stapler again and nobody would admit to it.
