When I first began Skyrim, trying to walk away with some free swag was difficult. My sneak skill was low, people were always watching my every move and, sometimes, I just felt bad about robbing these non-Dragonborn folk.

Fortunately, just as in real life, theft is made easier every which way by slapping a bucket on someone's head. Now, I don't have to worry about my low sneak skill, the victim's eyes are obstructed and I don't really feel bad anymore, mainly because if you sit there and let me put a bucket over your head you deserve to get all your worldly possessions stolen. Thus is the Elder Scrolls way.

Horses are 1000 gold, you know. I need me a horse.
