Stolen goods and bounties

My prize weapon to date is an upgraded Daedric battleaxe - 'You-Don't-Look-So-Groovy' - which for reasons unknown or forgotten has always been marked as 'Stolen'. I thought I'd revisit Falkreath again, long after a misunderstanding with the local constabulary resulted in a 40 gold bounty.

 

The main concern was the axe being confiscated. A 40 gold fine, fair enough. But five and a half grand's worth of axe, certainly not. I saved and made 6 trips.

The results were:

3 visits leaving axe at home - nothing. (Except a dragon attack on 2 occasions)

 

3 visits with axe - arrested every time, relieved of 40 gold and one axe.

 

I wondered if the guard decides that 40 gold is peanuts but over five grand of axe isn't. And how does he know it's nicked anyway?

To save trouble I visited axeless, paid the fine, then returned with axe. All seems hunky dory now, so the axe on it's own doesn't seem to trigger anything.

 

Oh, and do town guards respawn? Wondered if it's safe to go back to Markarth yet. :whistling:

Guards do respawn like everyone else. :3

 

Now, here's a question - how the HELL do they know you have an item that's stolen? Better yet, how do those damn guards manage to recognize me every time I come by, even if I'm wearing a mask and completely different armor. >:C

 

*shows up in Nightingale Hood*

Guard: Wait, I know you...!

Me: ...

Guard: You're a thief!

Me: ...duh.

 

But seriously, I ended up with so much gold near the end that I just payed off everyone that stopped me...or killed them. *sneaky-sneaky* And don't get me started on how animals can report crimes...

 

Me: *kills chicken*

Other Chicken: HERP DERP! HERP DERP!

Guard: Stop right there law breaker!

Me: D:
