The Briefcase is a hard office case with a handle, made for carrying papers to work. In play it is a small hand-held container. It halves the felt weight of what goes inside it.
The Briefcase is carried in one hand and has to be held to be opened. Its main strength is that it often holds something already, from paperwork to cash. Its main cost is the space it offers. It holds little, takes only small items and slows running slightly.
Most briefcases hold office items such as Paperwork, a Pen or a Notepad. A rarer kind is packed with Money and sometimes Stock Certificates or a Money Bundle. Briefcases turn up most often in drug labs and pawn shops. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Briefcase holds a small load and halves the weight of its contents. It takes only small items, so bulky tools and large weapons go elsewhere. Holding it cuts running speed by 3 percent.
Compared with other hand-held cases, it sits in the middle. The Handbag and the Bowling Ball Bag hold a little less and weigh less. The Suitcase holds twice as much but weighs twice as much again. A Duffel Bag worn on the back holds over twice as much and takes more weight off the load.
A Briefcase is best used to carry its contents home or as a small stash box in a base.

Locations
The Briefcase is an uncommon find. Wardrobes in drug labs are the best place to look, at about one in seven. Pawn shop shelves hold one about one time in nine. Drug lab counters, shelves and cupboards also carry them. Elsewhere it is rare. Lockers in bedrooms, break rooms, changing rooms, hospital hallways, fire stations, factories and garages each have a small chance. Bedroom and motel wardrobes and dressers can hold one too, as can a police evidence room.
