So after shooing the nosy ranger out of hidden valley for the brotherhood, I returned and picked up a bunch of quests from them, ran around trying to find precedents to remove an elder, etc. When I finally decide to leave, like an hour later, they do not return my equipment when I exit the bunker. This is after I had just dropped about 40k in caps that I had been saving -all- game waiting for some rare powerful items to show up at the Gunrunners.

I could not be more angry.

This is the second broken trigger I've run into, the first stemming from completing the squad unity quest at Camp Golf before picking up No, Not Much. I can't ask McWhatsit to send troops.

Anyone else run into these? Any way to get my gear back?

The gear should be in a container on the floor after you exit the bos bunker.
