Dear Chris, please unbless polar bear rug deeds. And any other BOD reward deeds too, of which I don't know the blessing status yet by experience. (Actually, I want to skip the experience of not being able to steal that stuff after long time sneaking around. )
I agree. Maybe works like rune books, they can only be stolen by a random steal (targeting the player itself and not something in the backpack). I think it's because it weighs 0 stones. Which is quite an odd reason...
I guess, it just has been overlooked up to now. Chris once mentioned that this stuff should not be blessed or newbied. I assume extra safety by zero-weighting it is also not on purpose.
Add Black Dye Tubs on that awful blessed/newbied/zero-weighted safety list! Dear Gods, please intervene and help a poor thief (e.g. with a "master thief trammel surpressor" trophy! )
