Describe the bug

I was unloading, sorting stuff via zone manager. After it was finished the previously hostile NPC turned non hostile and searched for its stolen goods which it had dropped on the floor on a previous encounter and was unloaded, moved by my sort order. I talked to the now non hostile NPC and got the dialog of "drop my stolen goods" which i replied with to drop. The stack followed because I don't have any stolen goods on me. Not sure if the zone move or the unloading created the dialog.

Steps to reproduce

On the attached save

  1. move to 0'165, 0'11 where the NPC named 'Angla Palacios' is.
  2. do a sort order for the wood crossbow on the ground
  3. NPC turns non hostile and looks for its stolen goods
  4. talk to NPC
  5. get dialog about stolen goods

Expected behavior

Not sure what to expect other than no stack trace since I didn't have any stolen goods on me but moved the possession.
