won't the merchants get picky when you drop your items on inside their house? i'm thinking of setting up my new HQ at the blacksmith's(geoff(?) house only thing is the door is always locked. and he might think that the items i painstakingly stockpiled is his. and how the hell can you steal from the guy? i tried putting 4 points into pickpocketing just to get the key from him but it didn't work, tried it a couple of times thinking my luck must be low then, yet always catch me.
