Sodbuster
A recent update protected chest by making them slide out of the way when NPCs walk though them, but other placeables are not protected, they are still destroyed.
The game already has a medium to return items that are removed from the map (like during the fish competitions, or when you forget them at the grange): Lewis' Lost and Found.
The lost and found could also be used to protect objects placed in the way of NPCs.
The farmer who placed the item would get a mail telling them that they placed something in a place that obstructed people's paths, and that they can get it back at Lewis' Lost and Found.
