Don't even start on that crap. If you make rare items really hard to steal, do you have a thief? ever stolen anything of value? if so you would know that if you remove the odd chance of stealing something nice every so very rarely without actually dying! and the item automatically being returned to the owned (yes, this part makes stealing FREAKING HARD), you might as well just remove stealing from the game.
Another important thing is random-stealing has been disabled here, so you HAVE to snoop then steal, cant just steal on a person and steal a random item. The profit of stealing is so low compared to anything else and your 45K you can make in a less than 15mins by going hunting. How ever for the thief, the 45K will be only thing of value he will see, IF he can sell it!, for the next few weeks.
People just have to be more careful, UO is all about risks, thats why you lose everything when someone random decides to kill you outside of the city, should should you be 150% safe inside the city? you don't run around with your rare mounts on you when hunting in destard either do you?
If peoples frustration like this start to change how things work, we all might as well just install Insurance and disable skills like stealing, or turn it into a pure RP server and remove PVP, because the odd find of for the scavangers like thieves, red player killers and such is what IN is all about.
Just go get another mount, the risk of you getting another, specially if its only worth 45K can't be that high.
