Fallout wiki tells me that that always happens. Idk.

This might be a really dumb question, but if someone catches you pick-pocketing them, can they take stuff from you?  I haven't pick-pocketed a lot in this game because my first character was evil and if I wanted something, I'd just shoot whoever had it.  But yesterday I was pick-pocketing Moira Brown and after I took some caps, she caught me.  Normally I wouldn't care, but I noticed that my Ol' Painless was gone.  So I ask Moira to trade, which she agrees to less than a minute after she caught me trying to steal from her, and guess what that cunt had for sale.  My fucking rifle (as well as a lot of ammo and other random stuff I happened to have). 

Maybe I'm just stupid that it took me 90+ hours of gameplay to figure this out, but if getting caught pick-pocketing lets someone have carte-blanche in your inventory, what the fuck is the point of it?

whenever i get caught it just exits out of the pick pocket thing.

don't get caught.  with a high pickpocketing skill i rarely get caught.  usually they take back what you just took from them...i wonder why she took something that belonged to you.

My sneak is at 100 and I forgot to mention it earlier, but I was also using a Stealth Boy when I pick-pocketed her.  Maybe it's a PS3 glitch or something.

This game needs more quests

Definitely. Was massively disappointed in how lacking in content it is for an RPG.

If by around you mean standing next to the Work Bench with one foot on the wall like the wannabe Marlboro man asshole he is, then yes.  But oddly, when I went into her shop, she was upstairs, so that's where the attempted theft occurred. 

On a side note, did anyone else play "Gregok the Terrible" or whatever it's called in the beta testing center of Hubris comics?  I played through it expecting some sort of prize for beating it.  It was still a funny little thing that they put in the game.  Little stuff like that and the fan mail in other computers is what makes this game great.  That and the ability to blow someone's limbs and head off with a single shot.

What level are you? Get the lawbringer perk. Every bad person you kill (slavers, raiders, etc) has a finger on them which you can bring to a location which is revealed to you once you have the perk. For every finger you return, you get 5 caps (adds up, don't worry) and a bit of good karma.

if you get that perk go to the Arlington home and there will be a guy there you kill him get both fingers and you can sell one for 1000 caps and alot of good karma. (according to fallout 3 wiki)

No...I convinced Tenpenny to let me convince the residents to let them stay, and I did successfully. I left, came back, and a whole shitload of ghouls were in formal attire and thanking Roy Phillips and I. What route did you take?

Spoiler (highlight to read):
i did the peaceful resolution to let the ghouls move in

Spoiler (highlight to read):
No actually it's more fun to go and blast the fucking ghoul freaks to bits and leave the place nice and clean for humans

I don't want a ghoul mask, I want to blast as many of them as possible
