Expanding on something from yesterday. I welcome constructive criticism.

The dead brigand has 300 gold pieces.

Praedoni mortuo sunt trecenti aurei.

(Literally, "To the dead brigand are three hundred gold coins.")

For other loot, just fill in the blanks! If the noun in column 2 is marked (f.), change mortuo to mortuae. If the noun in column four is singular, change sunt to est.

A single dead foe can have lots of different kinds of loot! Just add et ("and") before the last one. So if the dead brigand had 300 gold pieces and a small green gem, you say:

Praedoni mortuo sunt trecenti aurei et parva viridis gemma.

I'd say, yes, this is what I do when I'm by myself while the s.o. is off in Chicago for a few days, but really, I'd probably be doing it anyway. (It was even her suggestion to make this more "phrase-book" like with the fill-in-the-blank option.)
