The parchment is always there however the apple seems to be a random spawn they don't care about. Perhaps something to be looked at. Aside from that one case I haven't had any issues at all.
Actually, there are other items like that in the room. I only checked briefly but there are bottles on a table nearby; one could be taken without retribution, the other leads to you being attacked.
That said, upon closer inspection I am seeing a difference in crate icon colors:
The one on the left nobody cares about. The one on the right earns you a beating. Different color icon.
Yet, here, the one on the right nobody cares about. The one on the left earns you a beating. Same color icon.
So, the problem is we have a hand icon for picking up objects, and a crate icon for inspecting containers. The crate icon can be white (once inspected), gold (if not inspected and safe), and orange (if not inspected and unsafe). The hand icon can be white (for no apparent reason, and if safe), some hybrid of yellow and orange (if safe), and some hybrid of yellow and orange (if unsafe).
That needs to be straightened out.
