im NOT saying that there are many thieves, im just saying that
very little can be done to recover stolen items. the superiors also
find such issues very troublesome to resolve. of
course losing ARMS is a totally different matter.....7 years
There was a case of a stolen item "found" because the thief
resold it to the another person in camp and the new owner was seen
using it in camp. The victim saw it and said it looked just like
his. After an investigation by the PCs, it was confirmed that the
item was stolen. The PCs went to the lengths to investigate the
theft so they could try to help the boy who bought the stolen goods
as the latter himself was a victim too since he parted with money.
You know what the thief who resold the item said? He told his buyer
not to 'openly use the item in camp'. Super stupid thief and the
boy who bought also damn cute, never suspect a thing.
