Magnifying glass is red but nothing to pick up??!

[here2seetheshow]

I'm in the prop room & if you've played this game I'm sure you know there's a lot of stuff in that room! However, every time I go up close to something the magnifying glass turns red, then goes away as if there is nothing to pick up. Why did it turn red in the first place if there's nothing to look at and/or pick up? Is this happening/happened to any one else? It's bizarre. I don't remember this happening in any other game...

Hmm.. it's been a while since I've played this game, but are you maybe just supposed to look at something and notice it, but not supposed to pick it up? I'm not quite sure, I'm sorry if that wasn't much help.

I mean, that definitely makes more sense than what I was thinking which was that the game is bad. Haha. I bought it from a goodwill & thought maybe it was a glitch? But I think you're right. I just got frustrated cuz I also thought I was missing something I was supposed to pick up. Thanks for responding!

That's just how this game is. There are a number of items in the prop room that you just look at. Since this is only the second game, I guess they tried it and decided they didn't like it.
