Do SR characters PAY for things?, Why do these criminal mastermind groups use money? Options

[Lord Ben]

You want to be as legal as possible, you don't want to have pulled off stealing the crown jewels then get picked up for effectively shop lifting a big mac. Remeber each illegal act could be the one the snag you for. They got Capone for tax evasion- not any of them urders he committed but they got him off the streets.

This is so true. You'd hate to be a suspect for something and then they bust into your house and find you in possession of things you didn't pay for and you're stuck in jail for a month for receiving stolen goods.

It's not just a matter of getting away with it, you have to never get caught with it either.

"See guys, I can steal a Ford Americar! And you said I was a Shadowposer." "Where did you get it?" "Parked in front of the massage parlor near Touristville. Idiot left it unlocked and the keys in the ignition." "Um, fellas, there's a couple of bricks of Novacoke in the back, and a few briefcases of BTLs!" "YOU IDIOT! You steal the one car that no one else in their right mind would steal... BECAUSE IT'S IN FRONT OF A BUNRAKU PARLOR!" "That place is a Bunraku Parlor? Man, I've been getting ripped off when I've had massages there."

That's not so bad. Take the goods, dump the car somewhere in Glow City where the locals give no fucks about Yaks, and sell the shit firesale prices to someone who's heading to Vancouver or somewhere.

And hope and pray they never, ever find out.

BTW, reference to "Gone In 60 Seconds", both versions.

Well, what's the alternative? If you give it back, it'll be the same as if they never found out, except they'll have a head-start on knowing you did it, even if you returned it anonymously.

Better off to profit, and maybe flee the country.

... or return the car, with a dead body, face-to-face. "Hey, I saw this lowlife stealin' your wheels, so I followed the idjit and did for him. Here's your ride back, Mister ____. You let me know if anythin's missin', an' I'll make sure this creep didn' have any friends're sommat, yeah?"

They're Yaks. They're as likely as not to politely thank you for returning their property, and then express their great sadness that, regrettably, they must kill you for having seen the car. They'll no doubt assure you that they take no pleasure in what must be done, and offer to provide "adequate compensation" to your next-of-kin by way of apology and attempt to mitigate the blow to their honor that the practical necessity would bring.


As opposed to Vory. They'd just assume there was a chance you were lying and shoot you dead.
