My first post on this forum but I doubt it'll be the last ! Anyway greetings to you all and hopefully some bright spark can point me in the right direction.

I've made an area put all the stuff in and some of the residents who have their own faction, problem is when you steal some of their things whoever's nearby will attack you but the rest ( in adjacent rooms with doors open ) wont. I can even kill someone and nobody seems to care. The faction is set to track crime and each faction member ( which all the locals are listed as being members of ) has the faction listed as their ally ( 100 ). The locals all have settings to help friends and allies with 99 responsibility and are all feeling brave but unaggressive. I copied these settings from three dogs brotherhood of steel mates as I remembered them being " rather cross " with my liberation of some of their things. So what have I missed ? I can understand if they don't see the theft but shooting their mates should cause some sort of reaction !

Any help appreciated, thank you.
