Items stolen randomly increasing

[bruisedooze]

I have this weird issue where the number of items stolen on my character is randomly increasing. I only just noticed this when I was standing among some NPCs just outside of Skingraad and then out of the blue they started calling me a thief. It seems my Item Stolens counter is increasing due to unknown causes, and if I'm around someone when it happens guards approach/I get called out a thief.

 

I have a save where I can reproduce it easily enough but I don't know what's the exact trigger. I step out the west gate of Skingraad and stand near the stables on the road. By the time a guard comes by from chasing off (killing?) some enemies the Items Stolen counter increases and I get called out as if I stole an item right there. This imaginary item incurs a 1g bounty.

 

If I run around town awhile, where nothing odd seemed to happen, the guards are at their post and I was able to continue. I thought I bypassed the issue, and after running around the area for awhile I noticed I had picked up two more thefts. All I had done was kill a few wolves and discovered the nearby shrines/stones in that time.

 

My issue is the same as a previous post here, but this post was 3 years ago, the big common factor seems to be OOO. I haven't had luck finding more on this issue, but I'm hoping someone is familiar with this, as there was no more follow-ups on the previous thread.

 

Here is my mod list
