Instead of villagers destroying any chests or whatever they walk over, they should instead "kick" them, similar to the way the player can push chests now.
I'm imagining a scenario where a chest it placed in a "high traffic" area and just kicked around endlessly. It may also create an issue if someone "fills" an area and there's no spot for something to be kicked. Maybe items that NPCs walk through could be placed in the new lost and found box?

The thought had occurred to me as well, I just forgot to mention it. That's another option though. At the very least it's better than things being outright destroyed. Perhaps if there's no spot for it to be "kicked" then it can go to lost and found as well.
I think it would be better if the NPC's wouldn't destroy or kick stuff, but just rather stop, mumble something and then pass through the stuff, similar to the MOD:
