Pick pocketing (rules clarification)

[Pacem]

Just wanted to point out that im probably going to get banned from this server soon cus im going to grief a pickpocketer as much as I can.

Had just completed the Lucky Charm quest and got myself a neat little charm. I really enjoyed that quest and when I came back to the Mistvale inn, of course it gets stolen. And I know who the thief was, so I confront him right there.
He denies it, I threaten to smash his face if he doesn't give it back. There's also a witness to what happened but there was nothing I could do when the thief just decided to run off. Not like I can report him to the guards or anything.
And no matter what I do, I will always be the one losing to a pickpocketer? So what if I kill him? He can just pickpocket me again soemday and I might lose an even more important item.

I really tried to RP to get my charm back. Now im going to kill that guy everytime I can until I get banned.

You may ask why I would do such a stupid thing just for a small item? Well the thing is what about when I hit lvl 20 and the same **** happens but the item is no longer just a charm? I can't do anything against pickpocketers even if I notice them.

I even had like one page full of wolf hides at the time it happened. Can pickpocket choose what item they want to pick or was I really unlucky?

Im also forced to run around with my two handed axe everywhere now cus if I keep it in my inventory it can be stolen...

I was the witness to this, and would like to say, that you DID TRY TO RP IT!!!! and yes the rogue ran away. YOU RPED IT EXCELLENTLY TOO!! I thought it was going to be fun to be in the rp with you and then he ran off....

Things will change. Once we have corpse bags, and DM client, things will change.

I must have missed the answer to the question k9burn asked for when the thief is successful. If the theif is successful is there any indication that you lost an item or nothing at all?

PP goes agianst the target players spot. This will decide if you detect the PP. If you detect the attempt, there will be a message in your chat window. It says "player X" is attempting to steal from you. You have bout 2-3 secs to beat his face in before you get the second message. This message says, "player X" stole from you. I can't remember if you the message says what is stolen or not.

If the Thief beats your spot check, then you wont even know what is stolen. You look in your inventory and poof, item(s) gone.

If you can take Spot or listen as a class skill, It is a worth while investment.
