You know how it is in a village, you have a specific wheelbarrow for tanning, for drying, for smelting and then some idiot run off with it and you find it 2 weeks later at some random spot.

Anyone who can Manage Territory can move them freely and assign items to be bound to areas by using an Item Field Carin
