Is there a fix for hostility after stealing without being seen?

[Calzien]

Okay, long story short I came across Covenant. They let me in and without anyone seeing me I swiped a piece of paper with a password on it and a set of house keys. If you've been to the place you probably know the reason why. Anyway, before doing so I checked to ensure the house was empty, closed both doors behind me and crouched. I even have the chameleon legendary effect on a piece of armor. No notice I was caught. I casually leave from the back door so I'm not seen leaving but soon as I step in the clearing everyone goes mental and attacks. I'm forced to kill (Accidentally I may add. Tried to bash him with my gun to stun him and performed a kill move instead.) the front gate guard on my out and ran until they gave up chase.

 

Again, to avoid spoilers I won't say why but I'm probably going to return eventually to claim the settlement as a base but is there a fix for this bug? Yes I do classify it as a bug because if I can swipe something when standing up while not in line of sight and escape detection why is it stealing while crouching, avoiding detection, and being stealthed even, causes everyone to go berserk?

EDIT: I could have reset to an earlier save but it was from hours prior, plus I decided to just stick with my outcome this time. Probably would've been the same I bet.

Something similar that bothers me as well. When I reverse pickpocket a grenade into an enemy, soon after, they go on alert. If I was able to successfully perform the pickpocket, I wasn't caught and if I wasn't caught, why would they go on alert almost immediately?... Granted I do have a mod that extends the timer of the grenade a bit so I can actually get away before it blows but it makes no sense.

I hope a brilliant modder makes a mod that fixes this problem. I am so sick of accidentally stealing something, and then the whole town goes psycho on my @$$.
