My follower attacks me when I pick up stolen items in my house
I built my Lakeview manor house and I decided to try and pimp it out and make it look cool. Try being the key word. Most of my items are stolen, just because I steal a lot, and for some stupid reason, getting my follower to empty chests and carry a crap load of items for me seems to make them all of a sudden stolen.
Anyways, when place a stolen weapon, lets say, in a display case and then decide I want to move it or use it, my follower (Ogol) give me a bounty and turns on me. He gives me the option to pay or else. If I dont pay he leave my service and attacks me and that also turns my housecarl after me as well.
I know this stupid place has so many damn bugs it isn't funny but I'm not sure if this has anything at all to do with the house or not. Is there anyway to prevent this? Anything I can do at all? I just built my second house at another location because the glitches and bug really scare me. My items have been getting moved around and even vanished after leaving and coming back. The only good thing about the bugs are, for whatever reason one of my mannequins keeps spawning a $5000 piece of ebony mail and a ebony shield every time I leave the area, so its making me a lot of money. But I'd really love to use my house and not worry.
So does anyone have any suggestions or does anyone else have this problem?
Best Answer
The follower's action is not a bug. Some followers are morally conscious and will report any crime you commit while others may not care as much.
You can look up whether or not a follower cares about crime in this UESP page.
The other thing you can do is to 'launder' your items to remove their 'stolen' status.

Why does my follower attack me Skyrim?
If you have a follower attacking you it can be something as mundane as them stupidly getting hit by those boulders bandits try to drop and you get blamed for the damage (stupid bug). However, for some reason when you fast travel (I used a carriage) it resets their aggression and they will go from Hyde back to Jeckyl.How do you deal with stolen items in Skyrim?
By using a Sigil Stone or an Altar of Enchanting, the stolen item can be enchanted and it will become an entirely new item, clear of the stolen flag. This only works on armor, clothing, jewelry, and weapons.How do you calm down your follower in Skyrim?
You could use a calm spell to get them to stop fighting and fast travel away. They should chill out after a few in-game days have passed without them seeing each other.Will followers report crimes skyrim?

Answer 2
Not a bug. Technically you are "re-stealing" the item. It doesn't matter what the item's location is, if it's marked as stolen and you pick it up, you just stole something.
Some followers are morally good and will attack you if you steal anything.

turning yourself in is the only way to make it stop
