Manaquin Item Loss?

So I had some gear displayed (just displayed, not to sell) on a manaquin. And I ended up moving it from my fc room to my apartment.

When I placed the item down at the new destination, all the gear on the manaquin was gone. Is that gear just gone now? I thought it would have given me a message it if it would vanish the same way it does for a flower pot or blank partition.

Not the end of the world but I'm wondering if there's any way to get the gear back or not.

EDIT: Nevermind i found how to retrieve the gear, is there a way to delete or close threads?

Just leave the thread to sit and disappear into the abyss. :) In case anyone else runs across this in the future though, check the retainer's sell list (even for displayed gear) that it was connected to.
