For many SCA events I've been to over the years (since 1988), the
organizing group mounted security patrols. The Estrella War and Pennsic
come to mind. It may be that, like field heraldry, the amount of this
particular activity has fallen off over the years. Perhaps because of
less and less volunterring, which seems to be happening.
While such patrols can not be everywhere at once, they do help cut down
on the thievery just by their possible presence, especially in parts of
the site often lacking folks during certain hours, such as campsites in
the middle of the day.
