It points to nothing, so no benefit is gained.

It points to nothing, so no one benefits.

Card text: "choose a location and a Methuselah." so, yes.

Yes. It is equipment until it is in play.

Absolutely correct.
REVERSAL: Transferring Locquipment via Disputed Territory to the *same*
Methuselah that currently controls the locquipment results in no effect -
the locquipment may *not* be moved to a different minion of the same
Methuselah. (Similarly, transferring the Rack from yourself to yourself
doesn't allow you to choose a new target).
I apologize for the oversight.

Well, you couldn't steal the Rack for yourself since that would be a (D)
action directed at yourself since you control the rack but anyway....
Does this also apply to Tomb as well? So I can't use Disputed Territory
and shift it to someone else I have in my uncontrolled region?
Not too bothered about Locquipment though. It's far more fun to get
Gloria Giovanni out, Clan Impersonate her to Tremere and then get an
Ankara Citadel out. Bounce for free without tapping! Woohoo.

You can with Disputed Territory.

Correct. It applies to all loctaions.
