F1: disappearing inventory items?

Misterer

First time out of the vault
I created a new character and upon starting the game I got lock picks as one of the starting items. I haven't played much with that character besides visiting Shady Sands (cleaned Radscorpions), V13 and V15. What I noticed is that my lock picks are missing now for some reason. I certainly did not use them (there were no locks to pick) nor did I drop them on my own. How could the item disappear?
 
Hm, after searching the web a bit, it seems that children can steal stuff from you. Does this apply to Fallout 1? If yes, does the game provide any indications that you were just been robbed? There are a few children in Shady Sands so I'm wondering if it was them who stole my stuff.
 
There are no thieves in Fo1. One thing that could have happened is that you accidentally put something in a bag or backpack. Although I guess you wouldn't find those in the early areas.
