I don't think the situation you describe is any different. Do they understand that they're not allowed to have this thing regardless of whether they're seen or not? Or do they think that there's some arbitrary rule where they're allowed to have it only if they're not discovered? Do they even have a concept of what it means for something to be "allowed"?
