Abandoned shack, Will my things disappear there? Options

[Olav]

I was planning on using the abondoned shack in the Imperial City Waterfront as a temporary base until I can afford a real house. But will my things disappear if I leave them there, since I don't own it?

Or can the shack be bought?

Another thing, when I was about to drop stuff off there just now, there was a guy in there. Some unemployed dude from Solstheim. Will he steal my stuff, or can I kill him?

Thanks, I didn't know that. Strange that items lying in the open are safe, while stuff in containers get stolen...

Anyway I'm having enough for that 2000 gold house now, and will buy it the next time I'm there. Have a lot of books, keys, ingedients, potions etc. Messy to leave them in the open.

Cheers.
