I'm interested in the 'beautiful story of the theft' mentioned at the start of Chapter 36. What details does Chapter 36 provide about this specific incident?

Chapter 36 provides very few details about the story of the theft, as it is only mentioned in passing. The text states, "following the previous chapter, where the beautiful story of the theft was narrated, please pay attention to the promise that was given." This reference serves as a transition from the prior chapter's content to the new material. As presented in Chapter 36, the purpose of mentioning the theft is to frame the introduction of the next story, which it calls the "very water of self-bliss." The chapter itself does not elaborate on the characters, setting, or outcome of the theft, focusing instead on the greatness of Sai and introducing two new gentlemen from Goa.
