Are containers instanced or aren't they?

I just went to one of my favorite theft spots and every single container out of dozens was empty. There was a higher level character running through right before me, checking the same containers. I was under the impression that containers were instanced (wardrobes, barrels, trunks, backpacks) but this has happened to me in the past two weeks in my other favorite theft spot also.
So are containers instanced or aren't they? Or is this some sort of bug I should be reporting?

✭✭Containers and loot are (with the exception of treasure chests in the world) all always based on the player, so instanced. Some things are just empty."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

uzbachchi✭✭✭I forced it to happen again, by cleaning out one thieving spot and immediately going to the second thieving spot. I had to restart my PS4 and then make sure to go somewhere else in between the two spots in order for the second one to have stuff in the containers. Seems like a bug to me, not RNG. I'll try it again this afternoon when I get on and see if I can force it again. Three or four times should be enough of a sample to figure out what's really going on.
Thanks for the answers.0 -
IwakuraLain42✭✭✭✭✭I'm not sure if people are instanced when stealing from them. You can usually steal 3 times from them but I've found some that only have 1 or 2 items left.Edited by IwakuraLain42 on April 23, 2017 3:39PM0 -

✭some places get nerfed overtime if we find way to great spots, the urns in orsinium public dungeon as an example got nerfed since they dropped too many wax0 -

and I don't think NPC pockets are instanced.

Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -
