[QUOTE="touc, post: 7869723, member: 19270"] A few ways you can approach this. First, your treasure hoards are found in the Dungeon Master's Guide. (1) Randomly roll a hoard. Take the dragon's "challenge rating" and match that with the random "hoard" tables in the Dungeon Master's Guide. It's guidance, so you can pick the items as you see fit or take them randomly. It's to give you ideas, not to constrain you. (2) I assume the dragon would be far beyond your player's combat capabilities. If you don't want to mess with them stealing from it, then don't have the dragon store its hoard in a cave. In older editions, dragons were powerful spellcasters. D&D has dumbed them down a bit, but there's nothing to say the dragon hasn't made arrangements over the centuries to store treasure in an extraplanar vault, accessible only by a drop of its blood and a passphrase, etc. A smart dragon might even keep a fake hoard, and a gold dragon might enjoy a moral lesson with anyone who thinks they should steal from a dragon.
