I never thought of that.The guy had been used to playing D&D where you always have all your equipment with you at all times.  It simply never occured to him to live somewhere!After clearing up a bit of confusion and a bit of subway arson, the player got into the swing of things and got to worrying about finding a parking space in the district, just like everyone else.</blockquote>
