I don't understand what you mean by this.. the code in bug 22982 only applies
to LOST charges.. I'm not sure I can see how items are being returned when no
lost item charge is attached in the first place?

So, this is where there are LOST charges being applied right?  Instead of
automatically returning the item on lost charge payment we want to allow for
configurable state changes instead.. or am I misunderstanding the
problem/request?
