Depends on what the issue is and what the items are. If you're speaking of items you just purchased with silver (player stalls, Company Store), then no, the devs usually won't intervene. The lost inventory is there to discourage players from using disconnects and other means to port home with goods where they normally couldn't. If you purchased items and were trying to retrieve them out of your mailbox, then you might get a replacement. The best thing to do is ask (I suggest via PM to jorb.)
Right now, we only have jorb to resolve customer service issues in game. If there comes a time when income is healthy enough, Seatribe might hire another person through Paradox to do GM stuff, but that's probably a while off. (FYI, this is purely my speculation here.)
Otherwise, the other folks have it right. If you disconnect, crash, log out, etc in Boston, it can be a busy place and another person can be standing where you were or someone dropped something there you can't log in on and you have to wait. My additional suggestion is to remember almost exactly where you were and make a "town alt" to look at where you logged out to see if the area is busy or not. Make sure to log this alt out somewhere away from the busy part of town, though, so you're not likely to have two characters that can't log in.
