If a player finds himself in a [[locker]] that he cannot close because he has more items in it than the locker can currently hold, the player can SURRENDER items in the locker.

This follows the same mechanics as if the character were arrested with the confiscated stuff getting cleaned away eventually, so it is not permanent storage.

The surrender verb has both roleplaying and functional elements.

Locker Mechanics

If a player finds themselves in a locker that they cannot close because there are more items in it than the locker can currently hold, the player can SURRENDER {item} in the locker in order to alleviate the problem. This situation occurs when a player downgrades from a premium subscription or if a SimuCoin locker contract ends. The verb is only available when the locker is overfull.

The surrendered item(s) will be sent to the local justice office and stored in a box similar to those that hold a character's items after being arrested. This is not permanent storage and the box will only persist for two weeks. This timespan is a substantial increase in comparison to the jail mechanics.
