Can I get into trouble stealing?

I've just started playing The Witcher and while it seems there are ways to alter people's opinion of you (e.g. bribes and signet rings), I can't tell if me taking stuff out of containers in peoples homes will get me in trouble with anyone.
In short: Does taking other people's stuff have any consequences?
Best Answer

The Witcher does not have a crime system (i.e. stealing), so you can loot without any repercussions.
