I was trying to pick up a collectible by the living room window (on Virtual Families-1) and my persons' action was "watering flowers" and I knew it was a glitch. If they teleport to the bed, (not a glitch, like if you were to put them on the far bottom-right they'd teleport to about the trash bins ) they may pick up a watering can, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have about a 1-5% chance of finding this, but if you do, you'll have about a 3-25% chance of finding it. Even I can't always get this to work.
