Got attacked by hired thugs in the middle of Falkreath (and this with a brand new character that NEVER commits crime - took me a while to figure that one out!). When the fight was over , there were three dead thugs in the middle of the street. I couldn't leave them there, I figured, so I began to drag them to the gravyard instead, it seemed appropriate.

I was nearly there with the first thug, when a guard says :"Drop that!"
Ok. Fair enough. I was going to, anyway.

Went back to get the second thug. I meet the guard again on the way back to the graveyard. "Staying out of trouble, kinsman?"
Hmm. I'm dragging a dead body down the street in broad daylight. What do you think?

As I dragged the third body towards the graveyard, another guard (I think) came by. "Let me guess - somebody stole your sweetroll?"
Yes. They stole my sweetroll. AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!!

I assume you mean random encounters.
And I agree, they are one of the few things in the game that are unequivocally great.
I'm still finding ones I haven't seen before.

I was in a town, where there usually are guards, so I really don't count those encounters as random, no. Or did you mean the thugs?

Anyway, I've always found the sweetroll comment lame until now
