[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 1188597, member: 846"] A trap could be set by the local authority in several of the stores that weren't hit. Chances are that stores buying merchandise from other stores are part of a merchants guild, and might catch on after a while when a fellow guild member finds items with his stamp/mark on them in another shopkeepers inventory. It might even be likely that said shopkeeper would remember the thief's face, or mannerisms. Guilds can be powerful. Even if the Thieves guild doesn't get involved, the merchants guild might spring for some serious power to come in to curb this rogue serial theft. Items stolen might also have be set aside, or were being held for local barons/lords/wizards/power-groups by the store owner. Heck, if he was a crooked shopkeep, he might have been holding items for the thieves guild, or assasins guild, and they certainly don't take kindly to being stolen from, especially if said shop was under their protection.
