Your problem is that you're attempting to call the GetPlayerFromCharacter() method from the character, whilst it is a method from Players. Use the method off of game.Players to fix(:

local deb = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if deb == false then deb = true
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if plr and plr:FindFirstChild("Good") then
            if plr.Good.Stolen.Value == true then
                print("Stolen")
            end
        end
    else
        print("Y u n0 w0rk?")
    end
    wait(2)
    deb = false
end)

    if deb == false then deb = true
        local char = hit.Parent
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
        if plr:FindFirstChild("Good") then
            if plr.Good.Stolen.Value == true then
                print("Stolen")
            end
        end
    else
        print("Y u n0 w0rk?")
    end
    wait(2)
    deb = false
end)

Instead of char:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) you need to do game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char).
