The Carnalax people live by a code of pure love. That means they love everything, including being victims of theft. That said, they also love getting their stolen artifacts back, as well as punishing the thieves who stole them. To outsiders, it is indistinguishable from the behavior of people who do not live by that code, but it is only because the Carnalax concept of love is much more complex and layered. They love not explaining it to anyone.
