For the first time ever, I know my own name, thanks IceMan (and yes, they certainly did).

Yes, it was me, mwahahahahaha.

If it makes you feel any better, I was only after your money. But, at the last second I got greedy and ran off with the paintings as well. If you think my house is so weak (probably is, it's never been put to a real test before) then you're welcome to come rob me and try to get them back

I robbed Victor David Thomas and have his six paintings. I don't know my name though so I can't give you that for the update.

Edit: If you're Weaver, then I'm the guy that walked into your house 10 times and left immediately.

When Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett go to a dinner party, he doesn't flush after he gets done in the bathroom.

If players were able to return paintings back to the auction house, then I think it should be on a donation basis so that the player would receive no money in exchange. That way there's no incentive for a robber to donate paintings he/she has stolen other than to remove unwanted art from his/her collection.

Now, when a painting is stolen the former owner would no doubt contact the proper authorities to report the robbery and those authorities would contact the auction house and let the staff their know that the paintings are 'hot'. The auction house would then refuse any donation attempts made with 'hot' paintings for a duration of time after the robbery (24 hours seems too short to me, maybe like a week). This would give some other robber time to rob the paintings and you could see who robbed the person that robbed you because the new robber would have to wait a week to donate their freshly robbed art.

When a painting is donated to the auction house (if that ever becomes a thing), then that player should have to wait some duration of time before he/she can make another donation. That will give the auction house time to 'authenticate' the painting before they decide to trust the player with a new donation. And, when a player donates a painting there could be a note next to it saying something like "Donated by Mr X", that way when Mr A gets robbed by Mr B and Mr B gets robbed by Mr X, then at least there's still a trail back to Mr X for Mr A to see. And if Mr A had a lot of art then when Mr X gets robbed by Mr Rutabaga, then Mr A can continue to watch as the paintings get passed along because, according to this system, art donation is a very time consuming process.

lol Ham, I actually did find your house and tried to rob you after I died in Mr Conley's place. Your house is scary, in 24 hours I don't think I'll be coming back. I know your name now though

Now I died and lost my painting... Oh well, lol.
