I would like to see the ability to add village level permissions on items. These permissions would allow the setting of items for public use, while not allowing them to be picked up and moved without leaving theft scents (even other villagers).
Specifically:
Say one has a cauldron one wishes to make public, but wants to secure it against theft.
In the context of the idea I propose, you would open the flower menu and select 'Make Public', 'Make Secured Public', and 'Make Village Only' (An option only available to village officers (Currently Chieftain and Lawspeaker)).
The Scents would work as follows:
Make Public: Works as items do on village claims now.
Make Secured Public: May be used by anyone, but not moved or destroyed by anyone but village officers.
Make Village Only: May only be used by villagers, but may not be moved or destroyed by anyone but village officers.
Along with this, I'd like to see the ability to 'Evict from Bed' added for Village Officers, allowing us to create village inns where travelers can sleep, but avoiding the issue of campers.
