What it looks like...

Armed: Right in the center of the <type> <box>'s front is the painted image of a small yet amazingly pretty Elf girl. Surprisingly, as you study the trap, her embossed lips purse as if offering up a kiss.
Set off! Moving slowly, you use your fingernail to scratch out the painted Elf girl on the front of the front of the <type> <box>. You barely have a chance to nick the image when the <type> <box> suddenly unlocks and swings open!

A tiny, beautiful Fae leaps out from inside, removes your <some worn item>, and with a lot of pushing, shoving, and the occasional gesture of magic, crams the <said item> inside the <type> <box>! With a nasty look and a liberal amount of hurled, unladylike epithets, she wiggles back inside and slams the <type> <box> shut. You hear a muted locking sound soon after.
Set off by someone else: <Person> scratches at <his> <type> <box> with <his> finger just before it swings open! A tiny, beautiful Fae leaps out from inside, removes <Person>'s <some worn item>, and with a lot of pushing, shoving, and the occasional gesture of magic, crams the <some worn item> inside the <type> <box>! With a nasty look and a liberal amount of hurled, unladylike epithets, she wiggles back inside and slams the <type> <box> shut. You hear a muted locking sound soon after.
Successfully disarmed: Moving slowly, you use your fingernail to scratch out the painted Elf girl on the front of the <box>. As you do so, you hear the high-pitched shriek of a deeply anguished woman from inside. Seconds later, a tiny but beautiful Fae squeezes her way out of the keyhole, shakes her fist angrily at you, and then flutters away in a huff.
Disarmed (safe): The painted image of a small, pretty Elf is embossed along the front of the <type> <box>, but has been defaced and is barely recognizable.
Notes: The Thief Fae steals your items and pulls them into her box with her. Once the box is opened, all the stolen items can be retreived from inside.
Glance: The pretty Elven girl on the front can only mean a Thief Fae living inside.
-or-
A painted image on the front gives you pause to consider your thieving ways.
