The Limesteins wheel thief was apprehended, with the guards taking in three suspects: NAME_1 NAME_2, and NAME_3. The three argued, with NAME_4 blurting "NAME_2 is the one who stole the wheels!" The quick-witted NAME_5 quickly found the culprit. To test his aide, NAME_5 said cryptically without revealing the thief: "How strange. Of the three, only the thief did not lie." Who was the thief? The response should be in all capital letters.
