It's happened to me several times. Now I rearrange my inventory, burying my "keep" items behind collector drops, before I go near the merchant. It's too easy to get distracted.

On Topic - To answer your question, I have not lost any money from my storage or my characters.

Yup, my money is on the merchant.. stupid thing is, I have a screenshot of it in storage because I was going.. I did put it up for auction... and 48 hours later there is no trace of it. I admit, I had been cleaning my invent though... gah, I feel stupid!

When my husband has mysteriously missing dyes, guess where they went......

I've been buying alot of runes lately and more than a few times I've gone into my bags to start applying them and they're not there. My gold is still gone but I have no runes. So either there's some new flaw in the game or someone found a new way to hack.

You don't use the email address for Guild Wars for anything else do you? Have you sent any messages to anyone with the email address you use for Guild Wars? Once they have that and know you play Guild Wars it's not difficult for a determined scrotebag to figure your password out.

Then again you say you're fully aware, so you wouldn't have actually used the same email address would you?

Could have had it on a toon then deleted the toon and forgot?

Guys 2 months ago i was mising 15k, and i am sure because i had run out of cash these day :P Also got a message "Cant log in because you are already connected" if i remember right. Immediately changed password and from that time all are ok. In case that someone is paranoid about theft use print screen to be sure about the cash and the stacks of items "especially if you collect black dyes

"
I have also heard that people find items destroyed(salvaged) in their storage and claim that its a bug of the game... its obvious what happened, someone logged on, took the item and left garbage so that the user thinks that its an error.
"Customization of items is not mainly for the +20% damage but to protect them from the greedy merch :P "

For users there are 5 things to do
a)If you are 100% sure that something is missing report it.
b)Report all users that commit violations in-game to minimize the ingame jerks.
c)Change Password often
d)Dont use bots and especialy the stupid toolbars in browsing windows

For Anet there is 1 thing to do
a)Allow a login-logger (time of connection to server and duration) so that the user by just looking at it can spot the intrusion in just a sec and figure what happened

Thanks Anet for that great game - its up to us to make it better

well, thats what happened to me 1 day:

deleted mule, while a guildie was holding items that couldnt fit in storage. made pVP toon, we all went to HA, gg...

then i take back the items with the pvp toon and log off for the night. next day log on, decide to play with a pvp build in AB... delete the pvp toon, make anouther etc

i was woundering for over 3 days where did all those greens and materials go...

is it possible something like this happened to you?
