====== David Poobalans Crime guide ======

**please note**(on 2008-08-31): This guide is outdated, to go stealthy you need Basic Disguise as well.


To become the REAL mobster, and get away with ANYTHING, read this guide ;-)



==== Step one: Get Sneaky ====



So, now it's time to learn how to be in hiding, and how to get away from the police :-D
This one takes a little bit of cash :-(, but it's worth it.
First of all you will need 2 stars in basic street-smartness. This book
costs nothing less than 9000$. You can also learn it from master/mistress. You need 2 stars, but i recommend 5.

Got it? Now you're street-smart! This makes it harder to steal from you! :-D
Well, now it's time to get 5 stars in basic stealth! This book costs 1100US. This will make you
even more sneaky and it gives you the ability to shake off detectives, police and other followers!
To get away a follower, buy a cloak for 100US, and use the item on the guy who's following you.

==== Step two: Becoming a thief ====


First of all, you will need to get 5 stars in "Basic Crime". It can be learned by master/mistress, or from a book for 100k.
This is the skill, Basic Crime:

* [[:skills:Basic Crime]]

Get five stars in this skill before trying it. You can try to do it, but get at least
1 star before stealing anything. It's easier stealing small items than big items.
Like, it's easier stealing a door key on 1% than a guitar on 50%.

The best places to steal is locales with much peoples and bad quality. Try to steal
from airports and hospitals. It should be AT LEAST 30 peoples in the locale you
steal in.

If you're gonna do theft, first check if they got any fight or defending skills like,
ninjitsu or kung fu. If you try to steal from the guys with these skills, you will get
beaten up, and loose health. 

Don't try to steal phoetic or musical inspiration seeds. If you do they will explode
and you will loose MUCH health, you can die :-?

five things can happen if you try to steal:
1. You fail to steal the item because the item you stole, exploded in your face. you get really hurt.
2. You fail to steal the item. You get wanted status
3. You fail to steal the item, because the victim had a Martial Arts skill like Jujutsu. you don't get anything but hurt.
4. You manage to steal the item. You doesn't get wanted status.
5. You manage to steal the item, but victims saw you. You get the item, but get wanted status.

Now, to steal, go on the inventory menu on character page, and press steal next to the item.
(Check what big it is first).

**If this worked you got a new achievement and you are a thief!!! :-)**



==== Step three: Smuggling ====



Smuggling is an important skill, and you need 5 stars in it. Without this skill you will get wanted if you get caught with a molotov coctail,
gun, dynamite and that illegal stuff. Smuggling book can be bought, but it's really rare. If you find the book, 
it's named ''Secrets of Pablo Escobar''. It can also be learned from master/mistress.
