So if you're beaten and robbed by bandits and they take your stuff they usually stay there for a little bit. Then if you don't get it back it turns into the bandits quest? or they are still around there wandering with my stuff and I just haven't tracked them far enough?

They'll eventually despawn but it takes a few months. They won't turn into the quest; the quest is randomly generated and creates new robbers.

A while back someone posted a python script here for finding robbers for the quest -- it'll work for finding your regular robbers too if they haven't despawned.

FYI here's the link to the post about the script.

It's last updated in 2020, so no idea if the script still works and/or the download link still works.

I've used it in the latest version. It works best right after sleeping -- that's when all the updates get saved to the file it opens -- it reliably finds the quest robbers but interestingly doesn't do that great at finding regular robbers. i tried it without the quest up and it told me to go like 400 tiles away, and when i got there, i checked it again, it said 0 tiles away, but there was nothing there.

with some python knowledge, it can be edited to find other types of animals, too.
