The lock picks that I got when starting the game disappeared from my inventory even though I did not use them (no locks to pick) nor did I drop them or place them anywhere. I haven't played much with the character in question - I've only visited Shady Sands, V13 and V15 and I only noticed the problem now. How could the item disappear? I know children can steal from you in F2 - can they in F1 as well? I cannot think of any other reasons why the lock picks disappeared (or it could be a bug) but then again I'm pretty new to the game so I may be missing something. Any ideas?
