Wow, I have had this game since Jan. 2002. I have been through it completely ~ 5 times, and played partially through it countless times.

I tend to play on Expert, and it is tough to get ALL of the loot. I do not ever use loot lists, maps, or walkthroughs. Ever. I figure, I can finish the mission w/objectives completed and enough loot, so why bother. I can use the hidden loot for replay.

Well, by now I have found all of the loot and items in all but 3 Original Missions between Thief 1 and 2. I found Deadly Shadows WAY easier to finish 100%, and usually on 1st or 2nd play, so I am not considering it here. One of the missions is Running Interference. I was always short like 100 or so.

I have been through that mission countless times, and can almost do it blindfolded. Today, I decided that I am through. I am finding that shit. Well, I did it, and found a damn bonus objective I never knew about (wedding rings). The offenders were a silver vase on the east side bedrooms, and the kitchen stairwell coins on a freaking devious ledge.

Ugh, those dastardly bastards at Looking Glass were devious w/loot in this basic, almost training mission. I love it. Anyway, 2 more missions to go...
