In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, stealing is an art form—especially if you like to "borrow" items without asking. However, as anyone who’s ever stolen something knows, there’s a slight problem: the items get a big red "stolen" mark on them. Here’s a quick guide on how to remove that mark in KCD2:
How to Remove the Stolen Mark
To make your stolen items look all shiny and legal again, you need to wait…
Wait 1-2 In-Game Weeks: The magical solution is simple—store your stolen items in a chest (like the one near your bed where you sleep). Then, sit back, relax, and wait 1 to 2 in-game weeks. Yes, that's right. No need to keep looking over your shoulder for the town guard. Just store your loot and let time work its magic. After a couple of weeks, the "stolen" mark will vanish, and you can sell the items like they were fresh off a merchant’s shelf.
Why Not Just Sell Them to a Merchant Right Away?
You might be tempted to march straight to a merchant and try to offload your stolen goods. But unfortunately, most merchants are no-nonsense types, and they won’t accept anything marked as stolen. After all, they’re not in the market for hot merchandise—unless you’re selling to the right person.
What About Fences?
If you’re too impatient to wait for the items to clear their stolen status, you can always find a Fence. These shady characters will gladly buy your stolen goods (after all, they are the experts in handling illicit items). The earliest Fence you’ll encounter is Whitebeard, located at the Nomad’s Camp, just west of Troskovitz.
Here’s the catch: while Whitebeard will buy your loot, he only has 240 Groschen to spend at a time. So, if you’ve stolen a heap of expensive armor, you’re going to have to make a few trips. It’s not the most efficient way to get rid of your haul, but it does the job if you need a quick payday.
Final Blurb
So, if you’ve got time on your hands and don’t mind letting the days slip by, just stash your stolen items and wait 1-2 weeks. After that, they’ll be good as new—and you can sell them without anyone batting an eye. It’s the medieval equivalent of letting a bad reputation fade away... eventually. Just don’t get too used to it, or you’ll find yourself waiting for all sorts of things.
