This dresser is odd, like it has it's own respawn mechanics. For starters it respawns MANY times faster than an other container I've found. When it respawns it does not clear out the old contents, the new stuff just stacks with the old. Finally, it always spawns a bandana and goggles.
If you spend an hour or two playing then randomly happen to check that dresser, it's commonly respawned several times - without you killing time by waiting or fast travel. The dresser tends to have 3 or 4 of each item when I check, but I've known it to have up to 16 of each after several hours of normal play.
Very odd indeed. It's existed from the start and I've never seen anyone mention it.
