so, have you ever wondered why the detective's own special set of gloves aren't actually a grand theft objective, seems pretty weird the syndicate wouldn't want state-of-the-art gloves that leave absolutely zero fibres over say a sick-looking pair of gloves the warden has, or say... a jetpack which only has the advantage of being backpack-fitting, especally when said captain probably won't take to space with it even. me too! it would be interesting as well since the detective would have to improvise with another type of gloves like nitriles if they do get mugged which would make evidence gathering more interesting due to contamination risk with the fibres giving false-leads as well as encouraging them to stick to the forensics side of things, knowing they could waltz right into a traitor/changling/vampire wanting their slick gloves. plus, its a weird consistancy flaw that they're not actually a grand theft item to antags despite being a one-of-a-kind item.

I actually really like this idea. It's a classic trope in heist films; leaving a fake in place of the original. I'd vote for it being obvious on examining the item, with a description of "That's a Captain's Antique Laser Pistol. It doesn't look quite right..." or something to that effect. I'd definitely let it retain fingerprints though. Maybe a time-based fingerprint retention, explained in-lore by a mildly acidic compound within the putty? Has fingerprints when originally formed that degrade over, say, 10-15 minutes.
