A few days ago, after the Battle of Kvatch, I head to Cloud Ruler Temple and decide to use that as a temporary place to store items. I come back a few days later to collect my Mortar and Pestle, and realize that everything I put in that chest was gone, replaced with a few miscellaneous items.
I didn't lose much, but I would like to know what the guidelines are for placing objects in chests. I bought a cheap house at the Waterfront, and put my stuff there. Will my stuff disappear there too?
