Well, when you talk about real money spent, I can see your point and any new feature should consider that factor.
Anyway, if real money is needed to buy the most sophisticated and unique equipment, this same concept could be applied to Burglary ( more generally, subterfuge) activities.

More generally, game mechanics have to provide a re-equilibrating loop ( a negative feedback loop for the more engineering oriented :-) ) to achieve long-term stability: considering items, or anything else attached to the palyers' core features, as untouchable, will, imho, eventually bring the game to .. saturation.

Moreover, I'd hardly talk about fairness in a game where direct attacks are allowed against players. What's the difference with a subterfuge attck? by losing an attack you lose time ( hence game opportunities ), not items. In spite of this, the hard work spent by players is a game asset you hardly lose: the experience coming with the hard work, is untouchable, indeed, even if you're victim to a burglary.
