chrome ledge
I have just moments ago finished this quest , opened the shed , put my items along with the key in the chest in it and saved in the bed. After doing the very first quest in osbrook i returned and the shed was locked again. In my previous runs i would always leave the key in the chest inside the chest like this and the door would always be open.
A small detail , this time when i did the quest i did find the key before i talked to the quest npc , it gave me a different dialogue but finished the quest none the less
