Stolen tends to kick in when you can't take it some place, get captured, or run against someone that can pry it out of your possession. You bypass it by recovering your gear or going off to get a new one. Often you can bypass this limitation in short order by smuggling your gear in or swiping it back.
Breakable typically happens through accumulated damage requiring you to come up with the time and/or money to fix it. It's usually not quick to resolve, but conversely this limitation doesn't require you to surrender it when entering custody nor does it allow your opponents to take and use it against you.

So, what exactly did you mean by "lots of spares" for a character with a Gadget that lacks Breakable? I thought you meant the character had a lot of spare
devices, so if one is broken he just pulls out another one and keeps going. If you instead meant it as lots of spare
parts, such that the character can readily repair it (but can't just cobble another one together), that seems like it should still have Breakable, but at a lower discount for only disabling the Gadget essentially for the rest of the scene (it's certainly a Limitation compared to a wild Advantage)
