I suggest adding new rule, which states that taking items from unlocked storage is not considered a theft. User is not entitled to set additional use limitations above game core logic like placing a sign that reads "do not take items from this storage"

Motivation:
1. May be impossible to prove if items were in storage
2. Impossible to define items ownership as well as the person who took the items

Has there been an issue with this? As far as I know by default when you place an item, it's locked. You have to knowingly unlock it (and thus accept the fact anyone can access it and take from it). I've never seen a report for theft from unlocked boxes since the patch that made everything locked by default, so curious to what has prompted this?
