How to remove stolen tag from stolen items?

[jinn]

Ok so I am a heavy modder and I use console to get most of my items, and most of the items I get, some how already have a stolen tag on them, is there a way to get rid of it by using console, or a quick and easy method?

Open the console, click on the item so its name and/or ID appears at the top of the screen, type <setownership> and the item becomes owned by the player.

That did not work...

Was the item in your inventory or did you remove it and place it on the floor/ground before using the console?

It has to be out of your inventory to work.

Put them in the secret chest, in the city north, i dont remember the name, and then rebuy it from the cajitas near the city, and take the money back from the chest.

Most of the items that I use are modded, and one of them.. I can't place on the ground because it will disapear. And the other set of armor, I did put on the ground before, still says stolen.

Everything is just glitching out, like I got this Whiterun Shield off of a dead body and it still says stolen.

Maybe a bug, from the mods, i play in normal mode and use the chest to "wash" my "items taked from the others when nobody see me". I dont stole, i swear.

Sell the item to a fence and rebuy the item back. Beware that some items sold to a fence disappear and will not be in the fences inventory to buy back though. This can run through a lot of coin as well.

You can reverse pickpocket the item, kill the NPC and collect the item.

Sometimes giving the item to a companion, send them home and then take the item back when they get home works.

You can put the item in a chest, ask a companion to take the items and that can sometimes clear the tag.

There are some items you cannot remove the stolen tag from, so that can be an issue.

I just find it strange that the <setownership> command didn't work as it has never failed for me except some items that the tag cannot be removed from (Ysgramor's Soup Spoon for example).

or goto nexus and get blocksteal redux (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61605/?) not only does it stop you stealing plates and cabages etc it also has "basket" feature that allows you to place all stolen items and cleans them of the "stolen" tag

activate mod
open basket
additems
save basket
load basket

take clean items

*been a while since i played skyrim so i may have missed a step*
just check the readme/description page

The Reverse pickpocket wont work, because I picked up a shield from a dead body and it still said stolen.

Thanks, I'll download it right away.

And for some reason I can't open the basket.... And it's weird, the items that are stolen, don't actually have the stolen tag, it's just it says it is stolen in the stolen tab...

hey, You probably already solved this but in case anyone else has the same/similar issue. You can use the console command: setownership.

There is a known bug if you ask follower to takestuff from a cabinet for you it can randomly put stolen tags on things I did it once and now most things seem to become stolen even when they werent originally. This command helped.

For those who don't use console much (like myself):
> You will need to be able to see the object. (so take it our of inventory).
> Open Console
> Click on stolen object. (An ID number should appear at the top mid of the console)
> Type setownership
> Press return/enter
> Item should now be yours.

This also works on things like beds and cupboards that aren't yours if you want to use it further.

Yeah it's sort of fixed, it said it was stolen but I got it back after I got out of jail, so I guess it's just a glitch.
