The process has been the same since the Ancient World.  Thieves steal items
which they can readily fence so that they can feed their own apetites,
whether these be for Faliscian wine or bootleg whiskey or wimmen or
whatever.  Thieves do not have the sorts of minds which we associate with
the ability to differentiate between brand names or junk and quality
merchandise.  (This is a generality, of course:  some thieves ARE very
intelligent and educated.  But these guys are on the 'Big Con' or are on
par with the UK's 'Great Train Robber'.  You won't meet their kind on the
streets of your local village.)
