As a devout player of the thief class, I had the same thought
earlier while reading this thread.  Players who hoard items would
get noticed by the local Thieves' Guild spies who could provide the
information to fellow guild members.  Then, player (and/or NPC)
thieves could break in and steal things.  There are drawbacks of
this, of course, but thieves could finally have a place in MMOs.
