I can give you an idea as to why. All containers have the possibility of an 'owner' flag, which affects anything within. Many sitting out on the street have no owner, but most within a building DO. If you put something in an 'owned' container, it picks up that ownership. Your best bet is to pile stuff up on a table, or even the strider platform, or download a house mod. If you take over a house you can store stuff within without worrying about someone calling the cops, but if you DO get stopped by a guard with a bounty anything that got reflagged as owned will be confiscated as stolen property.
