ZAP is no longer required or used.  The ZAP keywords work poorly with the new device vulnerability weights.  For example, a ZAP yoke has keywords for yoke, collar, and wrist binding, potentially causing 3 vulnerabilities to be counted for one device without careful logic.  That's not worthwhile for a Devious Devices mod.

This was a hidden (but not secret) feature in the original Deviously Helpless.  I have excluded stealing quest items, polished it, and made it selectable in the MCM.  Here's how it works:

Each attacker can steal a configurable number of items (its entire quantity if you had a stack).  Quest items are exempt.  Optionally, the body armor you were wearing can be exempt.  Items will be ignored if they are weightless, of petty value (less than 10 septims), or have the VendorNoSale keyword.  The probability to steal an item is based on its value and your level.  Attackers aren't interested in your junk items.

Up to level 10, items worth 500 or more have 100% theft chance, subject to the quantity limit, of course.  The threshold then increases by 100 per level.  (At low level, a humble iron dagger's theft chance is 2%.)  Items will be ignored if they are weightless, of petty value (less than 10 gold), or have the VendorNoSale keyword.  Stolen items are transferred to the attackers, so you might be able to get them back.

This mod adds device events for wearing collars, arm cuffs, or leg cuffs (the cuff events were in the original mod).  If you don't want them, you can turn them off.

No longer are these devices merely cosmetic, useful only for triggering sex mods that react to them.  With Deviously Helpless, they have gameplay consequences.

Leg Cuff/Boots Trip - Chance to trip when wearing leg cuffs or bondage boots.  Sprinting, a blindfold, and high arousal increase the chance; sneaking greatly decreases it.  If dropping weapons is enabled, you will unequip or drop your weapons.  (DD also has a boots trip, but it doesn't affect equipped weapons and spells.)

Arm Cuff Fumble - Chance to fumble on the next attack within 3 minutes with arm cuffs equipped.  A blindfold or high arousal increase the chance.  If dropping weapons is enabled, you will unequip or drop your weapons.

Collar Choke - Momentary tightness of your collar increases shout cooldown for 45 seconds.  Nothing happens immediately when your shout triggers the event because shouting has already started its cooldown, so (with vanilla settings) the first 15 seconds don't matter.  That leaves a 30-second window during which a shout causes a longer cooldown.  With vanilla settings, the cooldown is increased to 30 seconds (modified by the Amulet of Talos and any other shout-affecting effects).  The net effect is that one shout might have a doubled cooldown, a vocal version of tripping.

"OMG I hate dropping my weapons!!!"  I do too.  By default, the fumble and trip events only unequip weapons.  Because you got distracted, spells are unequipped too.  If you don't even want weapons unequipped, there's a setting for that (but you'll still trip).  If you're Mister Hardcore and want to drop your weapons on the ground, there's a setting for that too.

"That still seems kind of annoying."  Not really.  You can set the chance to zero, but by default, the events don't happen often.  Besides, this is Deviously Helpless.  You installed it for consequences for wearing devices, so now the cosmetic ones actually have an effect.

"How often will I see them?"  Probably less than you'd think.  The trip event only has a chance to occur once every DD polling interval (1.5 game hours by default), then you have a *chance* to actually trip or there's no effect -- a chance for a chance, or nothing happens.  The fumble event doesn't notify you, but when it triggers, there's a 3-minute window for using a weapon.  During that window, it activates the first time you swing a weapon or fire a bow.  If you don't use a weapon during that time, nothing happens.  The collar event likewise has a 3-minute window for using a shout or nothing happens.

Try the events and see what you think.  Set their chances to trigger in the Devious Devices MCM, under Events and Effects, at the bottom of the list (you must load your game after installing this mod for DD to see the new events).
