Red flagged items in previously unopened, unowned containers
So I was playing Skyrim one day, and I was grabbing some random stuff from the containers. I noticed that in one of the containers, a piece of clothing was flagged red; the words were red. The container isn't owned, because of the fact that I became a Thane in Whiterun, and I'm hoarding the containers of Dragonsreach. Why are these items marked red? Are they stolen - If I take them, do I get a bounty? The container is unowned, which means I can take whatever I want. So why is this item marked red?
Update: This is more weirder because of the fact that the clothes were marked red, but it didn't say stolen on the upper right.
Best Answer
A "red flagged" item normally indicates that you are trying to either pickpocket or steal an item. It could be possible that you still receive a bounty if you take these items.

Why are some of my items red in Skyrim?
Red items mean that they are not common property and if you loot it, it is considered stolen. If you do decide to loot the items, the items will be red for stolen. White items mean they are safe to take.How do I know what items are stolen in Skyrim?
There is no way of knowing what will be lost except by going through your inventory and looking for the "Stolen" tag on the items. Items that are stolen are automatically put first on a stack of items like arrows. If you want a list, you are going to have to make a written list, or find a mod that does this.How do you get rid of stolen tags in Skyrim?
