You're welcome!

Yeah, should go into the first free inventory slot and should not automatically be equipped. And why isn't it shown? And magically created weapon? That, by the way, has its own inventory slot.

As for the chances: I'm not absolutely sure but equipped weapons, together with their related ammo, and the equipped armor cannot be stolen at all in the original games. For everything else there's no higher/lower chance. I think, this was only introduced with the EEs. (See this table.)

For vanishing items and such: there's a number of possible actions made by the game through dialogues and script. Supposedly "transferred" items often are not taken from an NPC's inventory, but instead newly created during the scene. And party items taken by someone else often will be destroyed in the process, which might explain your Silver Blade story … No, it would not. There's no  in that dialogue … Are we talking about Kruin?

Anyway, have fun on this last free day of yours – with testing or gaming or whatever comes to your mind. And please come back to tell us of newly gained insights about inventory handling and such. :)
