Ok, if i'm correct, the police used to clear the baskets, and everyone would get pissed 'cause their expensive items would go bye bye...well, here's an idea
Have the baskets autoclear.
BUT
Instead of the items getting deleted, they goto a spot in the police station, like a pick up spot....but the owner gotta pay a little to get the item back
Get the idea? It enforces getting your items out of the baskets, and people cant get pissed for the items going away forever o_o
Good Idea
Bad Idea
