item lock = byebye item?

Either a lot of people are requesting their items to be unlocked, and thus are facing the same fate as Harrisonized or this glitch is happening on its own. Because I've already seen multiple items with the expiration dates showing up on them. Hell, even this one guy who had tons of godly equipment is dealing with this problem and is quitting because all of his amazing items are going to disappear (this included an 11 ATT PAC, from the SS I remember).
