Agency Lockers?

Ok, I've read that when you join an agency they have a "locker" with equipment you can use. My questions are;

What happens to the equipment you have when you borrow something? Does it go into the locker for others to use? If so, how do you get it back if, say...someone uses your magic hat then leaves the agency?

Are you allowed to change equipment in the middle of a case? If everyone clams and charm would work better than tough to get the answers, can you go change to charming gear then go back to your case?

When you get to Officer and Director ranks, you may actually "reserve" items from the Locker for different rankings. The most expensive can be reserved for the higher rankings, and the least expensive for the lower ones. Getting access to the Locker is a privilige, and you cannot abuse it.

peter does have a point. Though you can safe guard your expensive items. An agent shouldn't be able to leave with anything, even a rasputins egg...because that's stealing. :)

Personally one of the most valuable items I actually find the white lab coat. It's only at a certain level that you can get it (not incredibly hard that you end up being stuck on forever), is the smartest coat you can get without it hindering charming/tough, and is not for sale anywhere. If the white lab coat leaves your agency, you actually have to get a newbie in to replace it in hard favours or really hard favours, or whatever it was. And do you really want to section off a white lab coat, for an agent who got it for the agency in the first place.

Though a zoot jacket or a dog is expensive, you can replace them fairly easily.

Lucy sometimes has the Lab Jacket for sale. ;)

Oh and in case, the repetition didn't make it clear, there is a section in the locker for Officers & Directors and a section for Director's Only where you can place items :D

I agree with Jstkdn -- stealing is stealing, and once you get to Incredibly Hard favors, it's over for the other items like the Lab Coat or the Dragon Necklace or the Seal Skin Hat.
