shrewd dirge
Normally when you get found and sent out the house, you only lose any item you got from the house, (I.E if you got a crowbar from peterson he would only take the crowbar)
But that makes the issue that if you just bring everything you need from your news station, there's no consequences for being found past that point, so maybe the Neighbors could take one item of you're own from you anytime you get found and put it in a locker/storage room.
This would only happen when you don't have an item from that house, so if you have a crowbar from a house and get thrown out, you wouldnt lose both a random item and the crowbar, you'd only lose the crowbar that you found in the house
This would make it so you have to think a bit instead of just running in with little to no worry about your items, and it wouldn't be to punishing for players when found.
