Other Statuses for Items you find

Seems like everything you come across in a USS is always 'stolen'. I'm sure it's been discussed, and I'm hoping that maybe someone can point me to a Dev post about it.

I was thinking a good suggestion would be to have some items tagged with a 'Reward If Found' system. You pick it up, and then you have say 48 hrs to return it to it's owner for a reward. If you sell it elsewhere, or don't make the deadline, then the cargo becomes stolen, for real.

They could do all kinds of things with that to lead into various types of sub-quests. You could have one with the reward, but then get jumped by someone else that was 'looking for it', nudge nudge, wink wink. Or, when you go to turn it in, you get the 'our princess is in another castle' type of deal, to take it somewhere else, etc. They could have missions to go find these items floating around. Military plans that you could return to the military, sell on the black market, or to an opposing faction.

So....unless this is already implemented, are they thinking about this at all? Cause, between the random '2 wanted guys and a cop that aren't fighting' and everything being stolen, I don't usually stop to check out USS sites any more...
