Some may simply require purchase from the appropriate Fence (finding the fence is the adventure part! - and the fence may require some task performed by the PCs)Then of course the item gets stolen from the PCs who have to give chase through the city underworld. a few other ways includeWe are the law: PCs are part of the Law Enforcement of the city in a classic Cops & Robbers showdown ("Okay Guys McDobble the Dwarf Jewlers put in a complaint, theres been a spate of Robberies up around the  Dwarf ghetto and noones looking, go find out whats going on")Undercover Agents: The PCs infiltrate the Thieves guild inorder to find out the real power and bring it down. They have to do a few 'jobs' to prove themselves on the way up and some of them may be morally questionable - what does the Paladin do so he doesn't blow their cover?Ratcatchers: The PCs catch a young pickpocket, who escapes and they follow him back to his hole, only to find a whole band of orphans who survive on the streets. Thing is the real gang thugs are now coming down on the Orphans - do the PCs help?Security Guards: The PCs latest job is as security guards, well until their charge gets stolen and they have to get it back (sort of the hook you already have above - the PCs recover the item, then it gets stolen from them)</blockquote>
