Indeed, that'd be very nice. There remains only the question of how.
One option we've considered is to make it always possible to steal equipped items and items from inventories by stealing from a character's Hearth Fire (which would always leave Theft clues, regardless of whether the HF is on claimed land), but one unsolved problem is what to do with characters who have no Hearth Fire. Obviously, we cannot consider any system which would make it a bad thing to have a Hearth Fire, but one thing I've been considering is to replace the "last logged out" position by leaving behind a "backpack" or something (which would be stealable from in place of the HF). If that backpack is movable by other players, then it would have a couple of other advantages coming along with it, such as the inviolable possibility to log back in regardlessly of if it is on claimed land (if the owner is bothered by it, he could just move it outside his claim). On the other hand, that would leave an enormous mess of forever abandoned backpacks by the RoB and the charter stones.
I haven't been able to think of a system that I'm completely satisfied with yet...
