Summary	0008201: Kobold ambushes without anything stolen
Description	My current fort has now had two kobold ambushes, but I'm not aware of anything having been successfully stolen. I have a couple of watch-animals chained in my entryway, and given that the ambushes have been spotted by cavies and wild barn owls, I doubt anything has slipped past. Aren't kobolds only supposed to send attacks once they've managed to steal a certain amount of stuff? This latest ambush has kobold recruits and swordsmen. One even has an iron short sword (in a multigrip). The invaders immediately panicked and ran as soon as they saw the dangerous cavies, but it's still odd that they showed up. And now that I come to think of it, I haven't seen any kobold thieves in a while. Is the game generating kobold attack squads instead of thieves?

SteveTheRed 2014-09-07 18:27 reporter ~0030032	Looks like this would also be fixed by Toady fixing 0007417, but it does raise the question of where the thieves and snatchers have all gone. I don't recall seeing any of either for a while!
