Much like any other Bethesda game at launch, Starfield is full of exploits for players to take advantage of, and one method in specific lets characters clear the stolen status from their ill-gotten goods. Contrary to its predecessors such as Skyrim or Fallout 4, Starfield also has contraband as a new category of items which represent illicit (but not necessarily stolen) goods. Though players have ways of smuggling contraband whenever they grav jump into occupied space (usually by upgrading their ship), stolen goods aren't subject to any law enforcement scanners, and are much easier to smuggle.
