Marketplace Upgrades

Is this true? To me it is logical, since the resources have not technically left your town, but the resources that are put into the marketplace do not show up on a town's inventory, so therefore it doesn't seem logical that something that doesn't appear to be there can be stolen. Also, would the offer just disappear off the market if these goods are stolen? and what if only a few were taken? wouldn't the offer go down in quantity? In my view here it seems that they are safe from theft, at least the way the game goes. Anyone have any experience with this?

And also, I like the Price Calculator suggestion, way too much work to pull up my calculator application or look it up on google .

I seem to recall that if resources that are up for trade get stolen, you get a message saying the offer has been taken down.
