To hear some leads are only available through the justice system seems unfair and game braking. If anyone reads this, please allow a wider drop of leads outside the justice system, because I simply don't like doing that on my main. Sure I like the justice system in itself, but to force a char into stealing ( even from thieves troves) and braking into houses and indulge into even more stealing - just because it is my main - seems very off to me, and for this reason I almost dropped the search for these music box parts - which granted, I would very much love to own. On a more ... story side of things - what is music and art got to do with thieving to begin with? I though these things were supposed to drop from more appropriate sources. Elven land - yes, but seriously now - stealing? only? Zos please fix this, even if for ethics. Very disappointing. Do something connected with the bard's college if you must and leave stealing as a side option, not main. More on topic - I got my blue lead for the music box from a jewellery box in Solitude ( the inn) - and that because the rumour they were found ... via stealing. After 2 days of seeing my altmer canonreeve indulging into the lowest sort of activities, just because the game forces me to ( put it on the "things one does for art" as you might - still - no)- made me almost want to quit the whole thing - which ... granted - I love. That off this whole business became. No more stealing as main option - PLEASE - (yes - it has forced me into repetition - that bad !).

First off, the merchants stole those items and were hiding them in their safeboxes. You taking them back does not make you a bad person. Remember, you are finding them for the antiquarian circle and are allowed to borrow them before they are put in the museum. It's not stealing.

To avoid killing ppl, brew a stack of invisibility pots and slip past them.
