Why can't we just loot corpses on toons that are given /consent? I seem to remember (sure I'll be corrected if I'm remembering wrong) when you gave someone consent on Live you risked losing your shit if they ninja looted it. On p99 I tried to self-transfer in this fashion only to be met with a "You cannot loot that corpse" type of message.
edit: on a side note, was the thief in a guild called <Ports>? I seen a name similar to that in WC yesterday and did a /who all ports and he was the only one in it/on.
