Tents! database issues and item duplication

What happened:

I pitched a tent on flat ground in a field. it took many tries to make it work. Once I got it pitched, there were about 4 tents stacked in my inventory. I pitched a few more tents with the same results in the same location.

After gathering several supplies, I started ferrying items from other tents I found into mine. this included guns, ammo, med supplies, food, engine parts, ect. I saved my tents and went off to find more gear.

While I was returning the server crashed. I waited for it to restart and logged in. Once I got back to my tent I found a few things missing, but most of it remained. I set out and returned to some of the tents I had visited before, and ALL of the items were still there, including the ones that I transferred and remained in my new tent. Basically it allowed me to reloot all the stuff I had already taken and duplicate it.

Testing this further, I started transferring loot between my tents, then waiting for the server to restart. Once restarted, some seemingly random items would be duplicated. It also seems that the glitching tents seem to make the server unstable as it tends to crash often, shortly after accessing tents.

The last piece to this is that certain tents will not pack up once items have been transferred. For example, I had caught and killed a man after finding him looting one of my tents. I then transferred all my items to a new more secure location. Once I finished transferring everything, I packed the tents and left the supplies I didn't want, figuring the server would clean it up on restart. Once the server was restarted, later that day, I returned to my old tent location. I found 2 of the 3 tents still erected, and all the items still in them despite the fact they had been moved to the new location. Effectively duplicating all of the items I moved. I still cannot take down the tents, as every time I do, they come back once the server is restarted.
