Hello.

I know that at the begining in Vault 13, you can catch a water thief. I have high CHA 8 and more than enough speech skill (70%). Lyle, Cindy and water guard dont tell me anything abaut water thief. Mybe I mised something ?

I know that looks as powerplaying but at the begining any exp. points are more than welcome.

thanks.

IIRC then you need to leave the vault and then return.

Done that, with no effect. Anything else?

Typically I just wait for the thief and he appears between midnight and one. If I'm feeling cute, I pick the lock and wait inside the supply room for him.

I think you just need to talk to anyone in Vault 13 and have them mention the water thief to trigger the quest, even if it doesn't show up in your PIP Boy the quest is active. I don't believe it matters who you talk to about it because most people who actually have dialogue have a "water thief" thread.

What exactly are you having problems with? Triggering the quest? Catching the thief? Getting your reward?

From The Nearly Ultimate Fallout Guide (one of the best there is):

Find the Water Thief.
Talk to Lyle or Cindy on level 2 or the water guard on level 3 after at least 30 days have passed and they'll tell you someone's stealing water. You must offer to help for this quest to become active. Go to level 3. Rest until midnight and a suspicious fellow will emerge from the elevator. Unless you talk to him he'll go into the storeroom and take some water (even if you're standing right next to him). You can then accost and search him and crack the case for 1000 xp. If you fail a CH check he'll attack and you'll only get 500 xp for killing him (unless the security officer comes running and kills him instead, or an NPC deals the killing blow). You can actually kill him as soon as you see him and get the 500 xp.

Yes that will do.
Thanks
