I actually know of one very reliable homeless person at the Civic Center BART station who would be the equivalent of a dead drop -- especially if people drop a dollar or two each time they use him. I don't trust the reliability of most people in this situation, but Anthony is an exception.

By the way, I went through the first 3 games of nonchalance a couple weeks ago and I'd love to get involved in projects of this nature if you're looking for co-conspirators...

If something is left in the locker for more than a few days do they reset the locker with a new key and dump whatever is inside? Is there a difference in policy for the lockers that take your money opposed to the ones that give the quarter back? I'm asking because i'm thinking of using one of these lockers in a low profile location (like a swimming pool or gym or something so they don't think "oh crap terrizm it's a bomb inside!") as a dead drop for a clue in a puzzle and i don't want it to be reset before the person is able to get there. also i'm hoping to use one with the quarter return feature so that the quarter itself might be part of the clue. is there a specific name for those types of lockers? I'd really like it to be like in MIB 2 where a locker in a train station is left alone for a long time (enough to house a little alien town!). thanks for any help.
