Bandits should have a maximum inventory for items to steal, maybe they can only steal 15 items from you at once, each items has a value and items with a higher value will be taken first. You can mine fools gold, looks like normal gold and is just as common and it has the same high value as gold, bandit will take the fools gold and you items will be safe. You can also sell fools gold to all traders not including dwarves, you get to money but when the trader exits the area, you will get negative alignment with that faction, about 1-3 per fools gold sold.
