Being a cop is a pretty straight forward job. I would like to see more clarification/visibility for criminal activities before this gets implemented. Are we encroaching into the oppression RP cycle here? Maybe just let the doors relock after the burglar exits and the criminal needs to repick the lock.

I fail to see how "visibility" has any implications for a system that is supposed to allow cops to prevent further access onto the burgled properly after the crime was committed. Besides, I believe such systems are left ambigious and inconspicuous on purpose with the intention of preventing players from finding loopholes in the system and finding the cheese strat.

An incredibly odd remark.

Criminals can find more than one heavy item which they can steal and carry away into the trunk of their vehicle. Making them burgle back into a house which they have already managed to do so successfully would be incredibly anticlimactic, tedious and annoying. Besides, investigationRP is very fun for cops, and locking them out of the house removes that aspect of it.

I apologize for the confusion my previous post imbued. Unless a home's door was rammed in from a raid why would a cop need to ICly lock it back up? I just think this should be done server side. If the criminal is raiding by themselves it's their issue that they weren't able to collect everything of value in one run. If we are encouraging RP than perhaps having more then one person raiding would be more fruitful for collecting stolen goods.

criminals can't rob houses that have already been unlocked. grinders wipe half the houses on the block for others to rob by the time the server hits peak time, so it'd be nice if cops could refresh them
