Vanishing Inventory. - by StoneG

Aparently the "noises" are the items when they recharge (i.e. a "plink" sound like a ring when a ring recharges itself). I asked about this a while ago in some thread or another and several people confirmed that is what it is.
I think most people lose inventory items in one of two ways.
1) they sell off an item by mistake, usually in a hurry or unloading a bunch of items (I think I did this a long time ago with a nice sword I had, or nice for my beginning character)
2) the item somehow gets identified as stolen and it taken from you when arrested.
The 2nd item I found can cause problems with selling things. I kept getting snagged for things that where very much mine, but I was attacked for them being stolen.

Something else to be aware of is that there's more than a handful of areas which the developers created by copy/pasting other areas, tweaking them slightly (doors, etc) and then forgot to clear ownership tags... so that, for example, you may find a gem lying in a dungeon that's tagged as belonging to someone halfway across the island.
Cute, no? That's why I always play with 'full help' turned on, as it clues you in to who "owns" what. (TFH in the console, if memory serves)
