It's a case of bad grammar not spelling. And failed wordplay.
Commandeer and Thieve is an action and it`s Commander-IN-Chief not AND.
Commandeerer-and-Thief would be a clever bit of wordplay on Commander-in-Chief but in this case they did fail but not because of their spelling skills.

I don't get what`s wrong with it. Commandeer is a word! If would make more sense if it was "thief" instead of "thieve." Oh well, it`s not *that* bad.

The only thing that I see wrong with the sign is the 'Commander and Cheif.` I see alot of people who are confused as to the second one.
com⋅man⋅deer   /ˌkɒmənˈdɪər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kom-uhn-deer] Show IPA Use commandeer in a Sentence See web results for commandeer See images of commandeer –verb (used with object) 1. to order or force into active military service. 2. to seize (private property) for military or other public use: The police officer commandeered a taxi and took off after the getaway car. 3. to seize arbitrarily.
And Thieve is obvious. This sign is not that idiotic.

The only thing wrong is that it should be "Commander-in-chief," but then the second part would make no sense seeing that it'd be "Commandeer-in-thieve."
