Just came off live chat, my case has now been escalated by them and passed on to the Expertise Support Team and I am waiting for them to email me back.....
this is why i never store my limited time rare items, i also notice other things have padlock on them. well unfortinatly satans anvil is in storage becuase not nuff land.
Having same issue after a recent nuke.
I'm also missing my black box. It's not in inventory and it shows unlocked in the trophy section.
Pretty sure my mini nuke is also MIA.
It's locked in your inventory because in the black friday update, EA stupidly changed the requirements on it from "must have completed quest Two Minutes of Hate Part 2" to "must have a variable named TwoMinutesOfHate02_Complete set to true". They also updated the quest so that it sets this variable to true when you finish the quest. Of course, many people had already finished the quest, and the moron who coded this change failed to think of that. So now anyone who did the quest prior to the Black Friday update and proceeds to store their Guitar Central will end up with it getting locked. The *null* is because they didn't provide UI text for the new requirement (another oversight).
Not only was this change poorly executed, it also seems completely pointless. I can't determine what their reason for them to switch to using a variable, but I suppose there must have been some purpose. Probably what they'll do to fix it in a future release is make the requirement "completed quest Two Minutes of Hate Part 2 OR has TwoMinutesOfHate02_Complete = true".
My Guitar Center is also stuck (per the above poster's discussion). But I have Homer asking to go there now and I can't. I only moved the GC to inventory so I could rearrange my town a bit. It wasn't there long, but apparently, the mere act of shifting it over caused it to be locked.
Furthermore, almost none of the Thanksgiving quests triggered (even though I was playing).
If EA wants to lose long time players, I guess this is one way. Prevent them from completing tasks and obtaining items. And of the items they can get, charge a ridiculous amount of donuts. Sigh...
Well, I hope EA fixes this soon so I can at least complete Homer's tasks, if nothing else.

Thanx to all for doing the necessary communication with EA to get this glitch fixed!!
