Make stealing while shopping an agressive action in high protected city's !
Alvarez:
For a price or reputation, you could ask the trader to teleport to a safe backroom, when your timelimit is over, you get teleported back.
For example, in NCR, you go to the trader and when you have 3000 caps in your inventory, you can choose the dialogue option: "i look forward to a bigger deal, may we speak in private?", then you and trader gets in the backroom, where you pay 500 caps and have your time to make a deal without being disturbed by thieves.
On the other side, those who wait to the vendor coming back are the targets for thieves, so it's only fair for everyone.

I may be wrong as i didn't trade for long, but i think you can trade without fearing thieves in San Francisco, Vault City, The Hub, Junktown and Adytum, which leaves some alternatives.
Also, you can try unprotected cities, but you should trade item by item (or in small quantities) instead of bringing everything at once.

Why can I trade without fearing thieves in those city ? I've been robed 2 times in NCR.
I see your point in the "trading item by item", but when you need equipment and the merchant got no caps, you have to bring a lot of items in order to get to the price you need to buy your stuff. And it can take some time into the trade window to handle well to get to the price, and this time is a blessing for any thieve arround.
Alvares's proposition sound awesome, I'll pay those caps !

First, @OP, I thought a failed steal lets you kill them without penalty in "Safe" towns.
@Alvarez- it has long been obvious that a caged trading area would have been developed in response to the constant thieving.
Like the way Renesco's trade counter appears to be partially set up (just as an appearance). The door would be pickable (causing guards to go hostile), but speaking to the guard when the trade booth is empty would get you popped to other side like entering Gunrunners factory area.

The cities that i listed above are also cities that are protected by npc guards.
There are generally less populated and players behave more peacefully. That doesn't mean they are all fair and that problems never happen, but i remains relativelly rare.
But NCR is well famous since a long time, for a city overcrowded with thieves, bombers and other trolls. The city is in the middle of the wasteland, between north and south and attract any kind of scumbags. Going there means expecting problems.
Personnally, i am fine with that as it give an identity to this place, an identity created by the players, like Reno is an Area of free for all pvp fest, or Redding, a city of men of laws. I am glad that people don't have the same behaviour and gameplay in every city.
