There are items all over the place I seem to be able to pick up with no problem, those marked NY (Not Yours?) that I can take and those marked NY, but that I can not which are generally in the view of someone standing near by. I am not sure I understand the process. I've taken stuff marked NY from a locked room, even worn it such as a shield and spoken to the character it belonged to and nothing happened. So what is the purpose of that? Do I get punished by my superiors later, even though no one seems to know I even grabbed the stuff? I usually play a good character my first time through
