I saw a thief trying to break in the General Store in Riverwood. Everytime I approach him he runs away. Does anyone know what's he's doing? Well, obviously trying to break in but you know what I mean.

All he want to do is break in haha. If you kill him you wont get a bounty or anything so go ahead and loot him.

Ah, ok. I thought he was a quest or something. Thanks for the prompt reply.
