Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Guide – Steps to Remove Stolen Tag

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players have the unique opportunity to shape the character of Henry, along with his moral compass and actions. One notable aspect of gameplay is the ability to steal items. Throughout the game world, you can pilfer items by using lockpicking, pickpocketing, or simply lifting unattended objects.

When you acquire an item unlawfully, it will be marked with a “stolen”tag in the bottom right corner of its icon in your inventory. Additionally, checking the journal entry for that item will reveal the location of your act of theft. This guide will explain how to effectively remove the stolen tag, allowing you to keep or sell your acquired goods without repercussions.

Removing the Stolen Tag in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unfortunately, there is no direct method to manually clear the stolen tag from your items. Instead, you must wait for a designated period to elapse in the game. The duration required for the tag to disappear varies per item, influenced primarily by its value. For instance, a low-value item like a spade may lose its stolen tag after only a few hours.

While you can sell items marked as stolen without removing the tag, possessing such items poses risks. If you encounter guards who wish to search your belongings, they will easily spot the stolen tag, leading to potential trouble. Evading guards is an option, but be cautious, especially when fast-traveling into towns, as you might be stopped for a search.

It’s important to note that stolen horses possess unique handling requirements compared to other stolen items.

Safe Strategies for Removing Stolen Tags

The only contributing factor to eliminating the stolen tag from an item is the passage of in-game time, regardless of the item’s location during that period. Therefore, you have several safe options for storing your stolen goods:

Hide the item on the ground in a secluded area.
Store the item in a chest designated for personal belongings.
Keep the item on your horse for portable access.

Among these methods, storing stolen items on your horse is the most effective. This allows you to keep a portable inventory and check on the status of your stolen tags at your convenience. Once the stolen tag has expired, the item becomes just like any other legitimate item, free of any concerns.
