Why is the wife making the items all marked as stolen

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I used the infinite inventory glitch for her and accidentally gave her my ebony mail and when I took it back, it was marked as stolen. I tested it out on some dragon scales and a sword and it worked. Later, I tried stealing a potion and was caught. I payed the bounty and lost my ebony mail. Is there any way to fix this?

(Also my wife is Aela just in case it only works with her)

There are some known glitches leading to items being unduly marked as stolen (it happens sometimes when you ask your followers to take everything from a container), but I don't know if they apply to you, since you are not being very specific about what you have done.

Generally speaking though, trying not to run deliberately into software bugs tends to prevent the occurrence of, well, bugs.
