The quickest way to get a grasp on how the Hideaway works is to look at
the other "cold storage" card, the Warehouse.
The Warehouse lets you store (most) Gear cards. The Hideaway lets you
store *any* type. (Specified in the card text). Specials, too. A
great way to let someone know he shouldn't play any cyber -- stick an
Infected Chrome right on top.
The Warehouse lets you insert one card a turn, with no limit. The
Hideaway lets you pull four cards straight from your hand -- but at most
four.
The Warehouse is "active" storage -- you can pay for cards on it and
they go directly into play. With the Hideaway, you turn a Runner with
Street to "pop" them back to your hand -- you don't have to play them
immediately or at all. Great when you want to threaten your opponent
with a different card now. :)
Neither specifies what happens to the cards underneath if the Location
gets trashed (ie, Cherry Bombed). I imagine they all go to the trash as
well.
