Smuggler bay
Storage that inspections are not supposed to find.
A concealed storage bay for stolen and contraband stock. Two sizes exist, both sold through the Underground Exchange.
The bay is the fence trade’s core machine: it separates what the counter shows from what the shop holds.
A smuggler bay does not make contraband safe, it makes it late. Stock disappears from the visible shop floor for the hours an inspection looks, and comes back when the paperwork is done.
That timing is the whole product. Which is why placement matters as much as size: a bay in the wrong spot is a confession with extra steps.
Counter protocol
- Keep it away from the trash: items left in a bay placed in the bin have been confiscated.
- The mini variant hides behind the poster and shares the same logic.
- A bay changes the timing of a risk rather than removing it.
