If I trash 1 or more Gears from this effect, do I have to add one to my hand even if I don't want to?
Yes.

Trash 4. Add a Gear from among them to your hand. If that Gear's cost equals the value of a friendly Gig, you may play it for free instead.
Yes.
You may add it to your hand if you don't want to play it immediately. (But if you play it later, you must pay its cost normally.)
As a Program, The Heist resolves as a one-shot effect. Compare its RAM, timing, and card text against other program options.

When evaluating The Heist, compare yellow cards. The 2 cost slot should be planned into the deck curve. Similar program cards can help decide whether this effect, stat line, or timing window fits the list.
