Bugs

• There is a "Protected" shadowmark to the left of both doors and on a barrel by the side door. Despite this however, the house can still be the target of a Thieves Guild special jobs quest.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.3, addresses this issue. The house is no longer a valid quest target.
