I am not too sure where exactly to place this one but since it touches on 
the topic I guess here is as good as any. It seems that we have all jumped 
to the conclusion that RAB stole the original Horcrux by removng it from its 
resting place. If so then why was the container filled with potion? Won't it 
be empty? Of course you are going to say that a refilling charm was placed 
on the container but if the purpose was protect the Horcrux then once 
someone gets the Horcrux then there will be no need to have the container 
refilled. It meant that once stolen Harry and Dumbledore would have found an 
empty container.Either that or RAB went to a considerable amount of trouble 
to put these spells back in place just to hide the fact that the Horcrux was 
stolen.

There is a simpler explanation that doen't involve poisioning Kretcher. The 
Locket was switched at the time it was placed there. Maybe RAB was given the 
task of placing the Horcrux there or he was at least present when it was 
being placed. That way he can place the fake locket and all the protective 
spells put into place without any danger to him.
