Sorry but u guys misunderstand.
Example: I find orcish armor in a chest. Im overcumbered so i drop it for my followered... 2 skyrim days later it says its stolen and no idea y? Found it in a chest. Other items looted from dead bodies have done this as well. Im not stealing nething...
Did you read my previous post, or am I totally misunderstanding this?
According to UESP (see the link I posted previously), there's a bug where sometimes items that you get legitimately (not stolen), such as from a chest, and give to your follower or your follower picks up end up getting flagged as 'stolen' even though they weren't stolen. Is this what you're saying? If so, the instructions I copied & pasted in my previous post should work.
