@Rathlord: Yeah, I've had that happen. My recommendation is to get caught stealing a few times and then just run/stealth away from the guards. Preferably from inside buildings that you don't plan to go back into, like random houses.
Alternatively, download a mod. The general tweak pack has some options for changing how evil npcs react to high reputations.
@Jarrakul Yes that's what I ended up doing. I thought I remembered losing rep *as soon as you were caught* in the original, now it seems to be only when the guards actually talk to you. I could be wrong though, it's been forever.
BG is such a tremendous game but trying to actually play a neutral/mixed party is just impossible without "gaming" it a bit. I wish there were things that moved your rep towards 10 (neutral) rather than just up or down.
