Having read, both here and elsewhere, many opinions of just what is and what is not a proper amount of compensation for a Shadowrun I became curious as to what exactly people considered a Shadowrun in the first place. Which ones do you consider a Shadowrun?

A. Sidestep, Magecraft and Engine Joe break into a luxury estate on Bainbridge Island and carefully remove a priceless Waltz Blue 1948 Tucker Sedan (one of only 51, including the prototype, ever made) for a determined collector. After rubbing it with a diaper for a week the team brings the chrome-trimmed darling to a meet on the Tacoma docks where the Johnson changes the payment from the agreed certified credit to CFS dollars. After accepting (funny how snipers in position can alter a deal) the car is handed off to its new owner who has it loaded on boat for transport. Of course the team later learns that the CFS dollars are fake and the Johnson was really the orginial owner of the car who just wanted to cash in on the insurance money.

B. Scuzz, Little J and Shea steal a small electric commutter car. Lucky for them there is less than 200 miles on it. They sell it to guy they know in Redmond who alters the RFID tags and has a mage alter the VIN numbers on the frame. This guy turns around and sells it to a used car dealer down near Fort Lewis who in turn sells it to a soldier with more nuyen than brains.

C. Rogue, Denim and Nitro step into a Stuffer Shack on the way back from a successful run. Unfortunately for them, whilst they are loading up on sythbeer and artificial pork rinds the Shack becomes the next battlefield between two rival gangs. Lonestar gets involved and the combat that ensues costs Denim a GSW and Nitro several hundred nuyen repairs to her car. Rogue gets off with only excessive ammunition expenditures.
