That is, that once an item in your backpack exits your backpack, it should no longer be capitalized? (The Dargorse Buds are in your backpack until you tip them onto the floor in either 141 or 292.)
It isn't just that the items are not in your Backpack; they are no longer in your possession at all. If memory serves, this /is/ a basic rule-of-thumb we have used in the past for whether an item should be capitalised, yes...but please don't ask me for an example! ;-)
