where is the last pickpocket in shipping and receiving?
yeah I know it's impossible for you to know what I've already picked and what is left to get, except for this information: I've gotten 2 of the guards arrows in building A upstairs, and all the pickpockets going around collecting 100 % of the loot, 3 keys,one is Davidson's, 3 from the guards with the building A and B keys, arrows from the guards in front of and behind building B, and the arrow from the patrolling guard behind Building B. But in every playthrough, I get 100% loot and items but only 17 of 18 pickpockets. I can't find it. any help?

Just curious, and I could of course be mistaken because it's been a while.. but -
Doesn't the guard on the boat have a purse or key? I have a shadow of a vague
memory of timing his movements just right to pluck something off him undetected.
I guess it might have been just stepping in for a knockout, but I prefer to keep him
awake and unsuspecting so I can release the crabs to do the disposal for me.. - VERY
entertaining ! ; )

Please let us know if you figure it out - >!

well, the guard on the boat has a bag of spice, and yes I got that one, but good thinking. I thought it was obvious when I said I had 100% of the loot already, just can't find that last pickpocket. so in my mind it has to be either a key (not likely) or an arrow (most likely) so far the pickpockets I have that are NOT arrows are: two building A keys, the building B key, Davidsons key, and the bag of spice. which should leave 13 arrows to pick.

It is a massive place.. I can't count how many times I've missed something in a level
though I'd recovered every square inch multiple times until overcome by exhaustion.
At some point I have to ask myself "Can I live with 'only' 99%?" - It IS possible that
the game glitched in some fashion - a guard walked off a pier and drowned, got
stuck somewhere outside the map or an item just fails to manifest. Chalk it up to
Thief being a 'mysterious' game, call it "Close enough!" and move on. ; )

There's actually a bug in the game where it miscounts the number of pockets that you can pick. One of the community patches available for the game fixes this. I keep track of the amount of loot I find and pockets I pick for future games and my notes say that Shipping and Receiving has 17 pockets to pick so I don't think you've missed any. Check the ttlg forums for the latest patches.
