What I am trying to ask is: do objects placed somewhere by me simply reset?
Context: I use a cool "mod" (not really a mod just a savegame with some console tweaks) where I am a bandit (affiliated with all bandits) and so on and so forth. I have also added obscene bounties so I need to avoid most major cities. Thus I want to inhabit either bandit camps or abandoned houses, but I want to make them REALLY be mine, so I want to personalize them. I know that anything I throw on the ground inside my own house won't reset, but what about a non-instanced shack (the ones you don't need a loading screen because it's not instanced) If I just place books, potions, armor, gold and other stuff will it eventually reset or disappear?

Take a peek at UESP's Housing page and you can find a list of overworld 'houses' that have safe storage in them. However, I do not believe this would keep things placed on a table or a chair from resetting when that cell resets. (I even have problems getting things inside of a normal house to stay put!). At the very least I would expect you to find things in disarray when returning after a reset has happened.
