To be honest, all the plotting, tracking and following diplos means actually nothing unless you actually have a system mail which tells you exactly who sent the offending diplomats. You can have suspicions but that is basically it. If someone tells me I was a thief because they saw diplomats heading to my town I will laugh at them. System mails are the only true proof you can have of identifying anyone who has attacked you with diplomats.

it used to be harder for the thief to make off with goods, the world map used to display the diplomat to everyone sans the person that was thieved.

The 'lining up' method named by Vaneirin can also be done more efficiently with Illy Tools, I'd also like to add.

sending scouts/spies in a "bubble" around an enemy diplo is effective, albeit time-consuming.

I Have noticed that this method (line overlay and such) has identified the wrong perpetrator in 3 at least instances. other than actually catching the thieves by your diplomats is there another way to accurately determine a thief?

This guide describes how to defend from thieves

A combination of vault, rune and defending thieves are your best options -- as your city grows you will increasingly rely on runes and defending thieves.

So, there is no defense against being robbed other than reacting to it after it has happened?  

hoping that the nefarious burgler has learned his lesson after I rune him seems to be a weak defense.

please advise/admonish accordingly for  a noob.

thanks

Thanks!
In doing some math with gold factored in, turns out one of my fellow alliance members got robbed yesterday by 7000 Orc Plunderers. Yikes.

Gold counts toward a thief's carrying capacity, so a thief can carry as many units of gold as its capacity.  In general it's more profitable to steal almost anything other than gold.
