Formerly owned:
One 2 dot first aid kit. It was cannibalized to form the beginnings of Ben's Utility Belt.

Stuff Ben has on him in the thread:
Utility belt (a Merit represented physically) sewn to the inside of his Wondrous Tuxedo, filled with medical items, random Occult stuff, and miscellaneous crafting supplies.

Smartphone, filled with music to be played at the Appropriate Time.

At least one notepad and a pencil on Ben's person, ALWAYS. You never know when you'll need to take notes, draw diagrams, or communicate without sound! He probably buys them in bulk from Costco or something.

Probably some more miscellaneous junk, although nothing particularly helpful or valuable. Comedy props!

Stuff Ben doesn't have on him, but that he either owns or has owned:
Used Oldsmobile with a +3 Handing score. Back window is newer than the rest of the car for some reason, and has "NO MAGGOTS PLZ" written on it in permanent marker. The front plate reads "THSISMY" and the rear plate reads "BOOMSTK." Parked outside his lab in the forest.

One 2 dot set of grappling tools. They're generally kept in the trunk of Ben's Oldsmobile.

Two pistols, one Glock 22 (from entering Paradox) one Ruger .22 (taken off a drug dealer Gene killed and disposed of). Who knows where those are, even! Probably stashed in Ben's lab somewhere. Never fired, so each has one full clip of ammo.

One Auto-Aim SMG built with Katastrofi, not Adopted by Ben but probably still kept by him. A dangerous Orphaned Wonder! Probably kept in a cage somewhere, deep within Ben's lab.

A fairly massive amount of former (deactivated and unusable) Wonders in glass display cases, lots of mementos from past Adventures, and notepads full of illustrations of those Adventures. All of which are in the basement of Ben's lab.

.PDF copy of the Evil Dead Necronomicon, stored on a flash drive that is almost certainly haunted. Ben has no idea what happened to it, but it's a copy of the Necronomicon. It might have magic-ed itself away to a different city somehow, assuming digital copies of evil tomes retain their power. The actual Necronomicon was spirited away by Gene after an "incident" at a familiar looking cabin in the woods, and is currently buried in several feet of concrete under a Castle-Like home on his zoo property.

A car sized meteor made of alien metal Ben found on his Secret Lab property (rolled a territory bonus) which gives Wonders unique properties when they're built with it. +2 for the user to resist all "spirit magic" type rolls was the original ruling, but later it was revealed the material might do more if built into Prostasia. It also keeps Ben's property from becoming a hellhole of angry spirits and half-summoned demons, and has been informally dubbed Vibranium.

Suit of intelligent armor loaned to him by an extremely powerful Lemurian Mancat, featuring a lot of custom variables and modifications that were implied to be unique among Wonders (tech from an alternate universe/timeline, magitek, ninth axiom, etc.) by the thread's plot. No flight or ranged combat abilites, but gives the user Skafoi powers similar to Bayonetta's slow motion Witch Time and Epikrato powers similar to Raiden's QTE reaction time/strength. Designed for a plot where the final fight was against a Promethean, so somewhat overpowered unless he's fighting that kind of "single guy/robot/monster with a ton of power and health" enemy. Ben has no idea where it is, and no way of acquiring it if he needs it.

A ton of burner phones and prepaid credit cards, stored in two separate safes in Ben's lab.
