Just did some further testing on this. Since the gear you connect with the mannequin takes up a sale slot on the chosen retainer, even when someone takes the mannequin you can access your retainer and retrieve the items from the sell menu (even display only items). In addition, if you put the mannequin in storage it retains all the info when placed back down including the gear. If you accidentally put it in your own bags it will reset the visual choices for the mannequin, but if you choose the same retainer when placing it down, it will still have all the gear associated with it but you will need to apply the gear again before the mannequin appears to be wearing it. If it was set to female and wearing gender locked gear, you will need to remove all the items before it will let you switch it from male to female mannequin. It must also be the exact same mannequin for that to work. If someone else picks it up and you get it back from them, placing it down again works the same way as you having put it in your bags.
