Abbey is a theif i was having a yard sale and abbey logs on and she happens to be right by the sale and she quickly grabs 2 items and logs out. I know she didnt think they where free first why would she only take 2. Second she made sure that she quickly logged out. And third this isnt the first time she stole from me.

it sucks I know, but....
1) theft is not against the rules unless:
  a) it is abusive (as determined by a Vol/GM)
  b) the stolen items are transferred to another char (alt theft)

2) exercise good judgement, don't drop anything unless you are prepared to lose it because:
  a) players that come from other games think anything just laying around is free to take
  b) drop parties and newb gifting at the statue and tavern have reinforced that anything just laying around is free to take.
  c) anything reported stolen from a yardsale (not to mention the alleged thief) are of suspect nature because there is currently no way to prove what you dropped, what was stolen, who stole it (or did/did not pay for it).

3) Vols and GMs do not get involved in alleged theft cases unless it is alt-theft/pw guessing or sharing or abuse occurs EVEN AGAINST THE ALLEGED THIEF.

I have nothing much to say bout this kind of problem.I myself also became a victim, got stolen a green dragon mail+3 and some other stuff.  The only way/advice to solve this problem is NOT to drop non-ego stuff ever again besides old/experianced or honest players but that is all IMO. If it is not the first time, then you should be more aware not to drop non-ego items when she is around.
