What does "robar con" mean?

What does "robar con" mean?

I was watching a TV show in which one of the characters is teased about an embarrassing incident by another, to which he replies, "No robés con eso, eh?" It really sounds like "robés," but I suppose I could have misheard it. Here's the link if you want to judge for yourself: http://spanishdict.ning.com/video/1710195:Video:218962. What does he mean? I get that the verb is robar, it sounds like a vos conjugation of the verb, though I don't know about negative commands with vos. Bu that would make it sound like he was telling her, "Don't steal with that," which doesn't make sense in the context. Can anyone explain this to me, please? Thanks.

Gracias! I couldn't understand him. - --Mariana--, Apr 9, 2010
but probably "bromeéis" because he looks like a Spaniard. It's not very clear. - AntMexico, Apr 9, 2010
That makes much more sense. Thanks! - MacFadden, Apr 9, 2010

It's only a few minutes into the video. After he runs out the door. - --Mariana--, Apr 9, 2010
About twenty seconds in. But I think we've solved it. The verb is bromear. I just misheard him. Thanks, though. - MacFadden, Apr 9, 2010
