Hello, we are fixing the item issue right now, but the suspicion going down is intentional, as over time people will just forget about you. It is supposed to take a while to fully lower since you have to do nothing for a long period and eventually a cop or NPC will interfere. Though it might not be very well implemented.
Edit: Located the issue. The right click and mobile button functioned perfectly but the Q key specifically didn't work. Fix releasing soon.
