Maybe he was lonely . . .

He doesn't live there. There's no living room, no kitchen, no tub. He has a room to sleep and a public bathroom downstairs, but it is only a small art gallery. He can afford all those guards because the expedition he is sponsoring is finding valuable items! That's why all the guards. But he advertised his findings, which lured you there, as stated in the read me file. Read his little journal on the dresser. He's headed for great wealth! Minus of course what you took from him that night.

[Folks]
...Hidden attic? Accessible from the ground floor? Do you mean inside or out?
I have all four secrets, both objectives, and the rope arrow; but I'm about 1000 short on loot! I must have missed an incredible treasure trove -- !
All the guards are out, but I couldn't find a switch to turn off the watcher.

[SPOILER]That rope arrow is useable if you stand in front of the statue at the two back doors and look up. You'll see a tiny beam up there. [/SPOILER]
Also, something that some people missed are [SPOILER]are the paintings on the walls in the gallery with the statue of Cartusianus, and also the three little statues on the pedestals. They have very short pick distances to force Garrett to avoid those spotlights with the watcher looking. Leaning forward helps, or....when the watcher isn't looking, step into the spotlight, grab a statue, then back away quickly.[/SPOILER]

I have:
[spoiler]Both non-loot objectives, all four secrets with their corresponding loot, the contents of both safes upstairs, the loot from the secret attic, the loot from the strongbox in the cloakroom, all three statues in the display room, all the paintings from the walls of the display room, the coin stack from the top of the dresser in the bedroom, the coins from the toilet, the coin from the cloakroom floor, two purses from guards outside...[/spoiler]
...and I'm still only at 1690 loot. Something is drastically wrong; I have missed some huge trove of eight or nine hundred! I'm usually not in the Perfect Thief category, but this is absolutely risible.
All the guards are out. The only thing left conscious is the watcher, so I can pretty much go anywhere. What on earth have I missed?

Tell you what....
I'll play the game right now and jot down a loot list, then post it here. Check back in an hour or so, maybe less.

All right, I finally found what I was missing: I didn't realize there was loot up in the secret in Figalily's room along with the safe key. Once I climbed up onto the table and scooped that up, I had all the loot (2615).
I knew I had missed some huge hoard! When I opened the painting via the secret switch, I didn't notice that I could just mantle up; I jumped up instead, grabbed, and all I got was the key. Thinking that's all there was, I didn't go back and look!

Ha, that was great. I didn't notice until I was searching for that last switch, but the scouting orb is great for dropping into tight places and having a look around for switches. I'd searched one of those rooms three times clicking all all the spaces between furniture and walls and I didn't find it til I used the orb. I'm glad I finally found a use for the thing.
Kind of a funny fm. Almost diabolical. First they throw all those guards at you, then you have to find all the tiny switches.
