Except it's Summer, first year. I haven't met my first caravan yet and I never packed anything Steel when I embarked.

So where the hell did the thief find that?

[duckInferno]

A migrant probably dropped it at the edge of the map.

When something gets taken by a raccoon or other stealing animal, does it get reported this way? Or does it say "A raccoon [or whatever] has stolen blah-de-blah?" I can't remember.

It says raccoon, they keep grabbing all the junk at the edge of my map from the elves that keep getting murdered by goblins.

If you've got death items set to auto-forbid, can they still be stolen? The perimeter of my map is littered with forbidden goblin stuff, and my understanding is that if kobolds are able to get away clean a few times, they'll up their aggressiveness, making for more fun.

EDIT: Just answered my own question! I was playing along idly, when I saw: "A thief has stolen a ({«*silver halberd*»})!"

So yes, forbidden stuff can be nicked. Sweet.

if they're not a dwarf, they don't give a lick about what you've forbidden or not.

It's rather annoying when your hunter grabs several stacks of Masterwork bolts, leaves a few littered around the landscape, and you find that your crafter is now enraged when a thief steals them.

If he's only made a single masterwork he'll get very upset. If he's churning out masterworks by the bin load he won't really care.

I have my weaponsmiths practice on first making ammo, and then making the weapons. Its very easy to produce 10,000 iron bolts, and they will last a long time before being depleted. Also, after a siege, I unforbid all ammo so they recover the lose bolts laying around.

I thought loose bolts wouldn't re-stack and there fore when a dwarf picks them up for duty he'll only have 1 bolt. Has this changed?

No, but I've seen dwarves pick up several stacks of bolts to make up a required minimum, so they may just use 40x1 bolt, instead of 1x40 bolts.

I just order all metal bolts to be melted down then unforbid them.  This results in a possible gain of material.  Very useful when making bronze or steel bolts.

I can't be bothered with all this melting malarky, so everything gets dumped when I'm done with it. Down into the magma pit with you, loincloth #435

They combine bolts in their quiver.

I melt down all dwarfy (metal) items and incinerate all elfy (not metal) items.  Stealing from the elves is annoying because it wastes so much time burning their crap.  Also, making a ton of coins as training for furnace operators?  Bad idea.  Lags (one minting order is like mining out 500 stone.  ugh.)
