> \# Describe the bug
> 
> Character have no inventory space and takes "scabbard with… saber" from vehicle; subsequent game dialogs suggest to wear/wield scabbard, and then draw saber from scabbard; finally, character wielding saber (duplicated), but vehicle contains "scabbard with saber" (original saber), not empty scabbard.
> 
> \# Steps To Reproduce
> 
> 1. prepare shopping cart with "back scabbard with electrified saber" in it (saber is loaded with medium battery, high capacity);
> 2. get "back scabbard with electrified saber" by a character with no inventory space;
> 3. in dialog "not enough capacity to stash..", with options: wield saber, wear scabbard - select wield;
> 4. in dialog: draw from electrified saber (back scabbard)? Yes, no - select Yes
> 5. in dialog "use electrified saber (back scabbard)", options: sheath, draw - select draw
> 6. check character and shopping cart - character is wielding electrified saber, and shopping cart contains "scabbard with saber"

> \# Expected behavior

> Scabbard in vehicle basket should contain empty scabbard.
