財布を盗ませてあげた。 - I let him steal the wallet.
財布を盗ませてくれた。 - He let me steal the wallet.
財布を盗ませてもらった。 - I got him to let me steal the wallet.
財布を盗めた。- I could steal the wallet.

財布が盗まれた。 - I had my wallet stolen.

Don't worry about all that too much. You gotta learn from the ground up, start basic, phrases and words, then simple sentences, then increasingly complex.

Wow that looks very complex! Still, it must not be as hard as it seems when you get the hang of it.
Thanks Edvent going to try that site!
