Mysterious Message

I was wandering in the calville bay, when i entered a boat rental nearby (forgot the name, its really close to where you spawn when fast travelling).
I saw a toy car on a cabinet and tried to take it but...well, look at this screenshot:

Hmmm, i believe that may be the tutorial on how to pick thing's up in front of you? probably glitched.

Yep if you don't do the tutorial, you get that message the first time you use the grab function. Worse than that, if you skip the tutorial the first time you try to make healing powder you get an unfinishable quest added to your pipboy as if you were halfway through the tutorial.

thats strange, because i completed the tutorial. Moreover, did you noticed that it doesnt says "take toy car" but just "Take"? As if that item hadnt a name..it talks about a skull too, so its even more strange.

I found a toy car (pretty sure it was elsewhere) that also only said TAKE and had no item name... I never tried lifting it like that though, just shrugged and moved on... Weird.

i think it was the same place, as i found proof on fonv wikia that this happens only there. Oh, i forgot to say that i already used the grab key, so its not related to this.

Proof on a Wiki? :rofl:

Like I said, I'm pretty sure it was elsewhere...
This just happened to me yesterday, when I was exploring the west side of outer-Vegas.... I cannot recall which location, but it WAS an office building of some type. Sarsparilla HQ mebbe...

I found a Ripper that had the "Take" function with no name after it was dropped out of my inventory.

Could it be that there are two toy cars? (haven't looked), but one used in the tutorial, and the other used everywhere else?
(and the tutorial car was used in a few spots by mistake?)

The wikia's more accurate then the official guide.
