It is VERY expensive to protect these goods.On the other Hand, Thieves who go for the BIG catch will use magic Items. See, there are wonderous Items in the DMG for Spot, Search, Move silently and so on. But there is no magic Lockpick who gives an enhancement Bonus to Pick Locks (Ok, there are also no magic Locks). A good Thief will also have detection magic that warns him from Alarms and so on (hmm, and there will be magic, that negates this detection too...).So, put a little thieving magic into your Thieves Guild Porduct!</blockquote>
