Doorstep stealing - a problem and possible solution

Hi guys! This is my first forum post, so please bear with me...

 I live in Dhab Habit in Salatu, and today (Weddingday 32nd of Fever) it's been noticed that one of the residents has been taking items that have been left on other people's doorsteps. When questioned and asked to stop, they simply ignored and carried on. I don't want to name names here as this is a universal issue and I'm sure that person is not the only one to have done this. I left a pile of items and a note outside a friends apartment a while ago as they were a new player and I wanted to help them get started with a few essentials. When they logged on, all that was left was the note. This is saddening as well as frustrating and I'm sure I'm not the only person this has happened to.
 However, I have a suggestion for a possible solution to the problem. I know it's possible to have a gnome on your doorstep that is locked there so other players can't remove it. I would like to suggest that this feature be made possible for bags. I think to simply lock any item placed on a doorstep might not be the best idea, but a bag with items in that only the resident and possibly the person that placed it there could remove might work? Or it could be special doorstep bags purchasable from vendors, sort of a one-time-use only deal? I'm sure people would be happy to pay for such an item. I've seen on some streets that people have started a milk delivery service, which is such a lovely idea, but it's spoiled by players who are simply going around each block collecting anything that's not nailed down.


What do you guys think? All comments and suggestions welcome :)
