Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is currently impounded in the Site-47 secure parking lot with tires and battery removed. Personnel are reminded not to bring precious minerals or stones within fifty meters of the vehicle at any time.
Items expropriated by SCP-xxxx may be retrieved at the conclusion of testing hours under the supervision of the project director.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a civilian-model armored car which has been modified for use in anomalous larceny. The passenger's seat has been replaced with an experimental target acquisition and teleportation device that Foundation technicians have thus far failed to replicate. When activated, the device identifies nearby objects of value out to a range of roughly forty meters and transports them into the rear cargo compartment regardless of intervening materials or subject mass.
SCP-xxxx appears to take material, sentimental, and artistic worth into account, targeting everything from paper currency and jewelry to, in several cases, coins and gold fillings. Observation of the teleportation process has proven difficult as the matter relocation drive will not operate unless the rear door is closed, and all cameras installed in SCP-xxxx have been teleported some distance away once the object begins its operation. It is hypothesized that photographic equipment possesses too low a value to keep and is ejected to save valuable cargo space. Experiments with human observers have been denied due to the danger posed by the rapid accumulation of absconded material during SCP-xxxx's operation.
While the teleportation effect leaves no physical traces, teleported items are inevitably replaced with a promissory note, ironic in tone, ostensibly redeemable for various life experiences and philosophical concepts. This tendency towards metaphysics is visible in the attached documentation and appears to be exacerbated by the theft of high-value goods.
