Limits could be nice if thieves could steal from players (limited, low amount of money and some lesser, unvaluable items) and maybe lowered chanse of success... and if the thief don\'t succeed stealing, the wictim will notice it. If the wictim finds out sevral time about the same thief trying to steal from him, he could tell a guard or someting and the thief could go to jail.

Maybe a guard could patrol the home-areas a maybe notice thiefs trying to break in to an house or escape from the house (and of some unknown reason know the thief isn\'t welcome) and put him in jail.

If the thief really wants goodstuff to steal, he should steal from strong monsters...

The thief should maybe have a possibility to break out of jail by lockpicking locks and sneaking out... maybe the guards can have some help from monsters to stop thieves to escape too... if the guard finds a thief escaping, the thief should get back to jail for a longer time...
