So skyrim had this horrible system where a shopkeeper would sell leveled gear that you can never get to. Because it was all locked in a chest hidden under the map. This is of course absurd. What kind of game giving 'freedom' wouldn't allow you to steal the goods from a shop?

What also needs to go is this idea that someone can just take the stolen items out of your inventory by approaching you, or knowing what items are stolen by god's will. A physical tackle tp pry the items away, A contested knockout to haul you into jail. Maybe then they might consult people they know about stolen items. or maybe they're corrupt and just sell everything you own to others.

Also, A bag or two for your inventory would make more sense than just summoning stuff from your body.
