I didn't want to open up another spam fest on UHall but I wanted to mention how, even if we can't steal from packhorses anymore (something I haven't tested but assume is true due to the recent outburst), we should still be able to gain by stealing items from a bag on the floor. For those new to this concept I know it sounds silly, but what you do is you place a bag on the floor, preferably a pouch so you can walk in front of it, then you bow to open it or use its object handle, and steal readily from the container. I am locked so I can't say whether or not you still gain but I was able to steal successfully and you should still gain by this method. You can also, if you are in the middle of nowhere, bring an NPC or two (hired warriors from Jhelom Pits, for example) to help increase the difficulty of the theft, as the extra NPCs act as witnesses and decrease the chance you have to succeed.
