> they had a problem with looters of the older tombs

In the Valley of the Kings, I think they had a problem with the builders looting the same tombs they had just built.

Cursory searching found overseer Paneb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paneb ... if I pieced it together right, he was in trouble for looting a tomb within 20 years of its construction.
