A friend of mine designed something like this a while ago. The players would 
turn to stone, but if they (say) left their packs open, or held a wand in their
hands, other player could come along and steal stuff. Also, the sysop played
as a large silver dragon which was usually a statue but could occasionally
seen walking down a cross-corridor carrying a stoned player in its mouth >:->

If you could be robbed while you were stone, I would think most people would go
and hide in a concealed place while not playing or use some sort of intangability
spell (which was easy to obtain in my friend's dungeon, since it worked both ways).
