What are the consequences of stealing in Avadon: The Black Fortress?

I've encountered some items marked as "NY" (Not Yours), and I'm wondering what the consequences are if I try to steal them. Can I steal without consequence like in many RPGs, or are there repercussions if I do that?


In Avadon, it seems that it never hurts to try to take something that is Not Yours. If somebody can see you, the game won't let you take it; and if nobody can see you, than taking it will have no consequences.
