I'm going to approach the issue of losing my restrung talismans from a different angle. How about making it so the winged nightwalkers deposit what they steal next to the big nightwalker in the ruins of Maethien? When my talismans were stolen I tried to locate them as soon as I realized they were gone and they were nowhere to be found. This leads me to believe that the nightwalker that swiped them poofed and took my stuff with them. If they drop the stuff somewhere it gives everybody an opportunity, albeit in the form of a tough task, to get their stuff back. How about it?
