I do this all the time on Atlantic, where I don't have a house.
It's really quite easy, but timing is important. The longer your
goods sit on the ground, the greater the chance they will be
scooped up by someone. As you've already noticed, if it's on the
ground, it's fair game.
Also, be mindful of decay, if your stuff sits for too long, it
will eventually vanish. While garbage takes days to disappear,
something you value could be gone in seconds.
Don't forget the STR difference between chars. Keep the pack
light enough that you can carry it. Commodity deeds are your
friend.
As suggested, you can stash your goodies behind a tree, log
chars, and run to grab yer stuff. Not my favorite method though.
I prefer to transfer at a remote inn, where I can simply leave a
pouch (smallest container) on the floor. Haven is, of course, a
bad choice, Gargoyle City is the best.
Take your receiving char to a room in an inn and log it out.
Have the delivering char take the items, preferably in a pouch,
to the same room. Using circle of Transparency, found in
options, you can place the pouch on the floor where it is hidden
by walls.
Log out, log in, easy peasy.
There are public containers that you can place items in. This
has the benefit that your goods are not visible to a passerby,
for the few seconds that it takes to change chars/accounts. Try
one of the towers in Luna.
