Labels
Containers may be referred to as "safe" or "unsafe" / "not safe." "Safe" containers will never respawn their contents, meaning that they'll retain the contents that are deposited in them indefinitely. On the other hand, items placed in an "unsafe" container will disappear over time when the container respawns its contents. Utilizing the GECK or FNVedit is the only way to determine this, marked as respawn "yes" with instances in the game world.

Unsafe containers

 * The refrigerator in the Goodsprings General Store in Goodsprings.
 * The refrigerator in the Nash residence in Primm.
 * The refrigerator in Deputy Beagle's residence in Primm.
 * Two refrigerators in the NCR Correctional Facility (one in the visitors center, the other in the administration building).
 * One refrigerator in Vault 22.
