I took a seat and began opening the chests.  The first chest contained a few bags with various weapons inside.  One had several magic bows and crossbows.  I took them all out of the chest and placed them into my "loot pack."  I then opened the next bag and swiped all the fencing weapons.  I then moved on to the next bag which contained many sword-type weapons which I also took.  The next box had a bag FULL of pickaxes (YAY! No more pickaxe buying for my smith.)  I grabbed them all and then noticed I was overloaded.  This loot will take quite a few trips, but I didn't worry.

My first trip took back the bows and the fencing weapons.  I went to my house and deposited them in my "sort" box where I will go through them later on after the loot was complete.  I returned to the house and took the swordsmanship weapons and about 70 ignots.  I then returned to my house and then back to this forge.  The pickaxes were next, and I took those to my house as well.  Next came the box with 5 bags.  Funny, they each contained armor for all 5 places on the body.  I began unloading the bags and ended up taking back with me over 3000 gold worth of arms, chests, legs, gorgets, and shields (there are still some pieces of jewelery I haven't taken!)  I looked in the bag with 400 stones worth of mace weapons, I was tempted to take it back but I just had no way of recalling with all that weight, so I decided I would come back at a later date to unload that bit by bit.

I made my last recall to my house and began sorting through the stuff.  I kept all the swords, fencing weapons, and bows and sold the rest.  Grand total for this loot was $3500 gold.  Not a bad payoff I'd say.
 
 
Moral of this Story:  If I've ever stolen your house key, don't put stuff back in the house.  Can't get any more simple than that.  Geez, how silly can these people be?
