Bits 'n' Bobs is quieter than usual at the moment. Upon entering the store, you soon find out why. Most of the shelves have yet to be replenished with stock. One of the only useful items you find is a bucket located in the hardware section. After carefully considering a complex escape plan, you put the bucket on your head and charge for the exit. Somehow, by luck or judgment, you make it past the cashiers and through the automatic doors.
SUCCESS
Bits 'n' Bobs is pretty empty at the moment. You enter through the sliding doors and inspect the items on offer. Nothing's really speaking to you right now, which is good as that'd mean you were losing your mind. Walking by the coolers in hopeful anticipation, you see they're completely empty. As you walk toward the checkout, you see one of the register girls drop a bag of cash. You crouch down and nab the bag, slipping it in your pocket before anyone sees.

A gang of ransomware merchants has asked you to supply them with some fresh card details. You initially request $240 per card, but settle for $200 when they threaten to lock your computer. While transferring over 1,099 logs, you wonder who would be dumb enough to click on ransomware these days. You start browsing your emails and accidentally open an attachment offering a $40,000 tax return - you f**king moron. Thankfully, the ransomware guys teach you how to unlock your computer. Once you've regained access, you complete the transaction and receive your payment.

You're standing by one of the aisles getting ready to steal something when a woman taps you on the back. "Hey, you look like you're about to boost some candy. Wanna see how I do it?" You nod your head and she points toward the camera. "When it's off, this is how you get candy out of here," she says before shoving a jawbreaker in her mouth. The woman walks toward the door, but bumps into a guy on her way, causing the jawbreaker to lodge in her throat. You follow the woman outside and see she's choking to death on the candy blocking her windpipe. You wrap your arms around her abdomen and perform the Heimlich maneuver, causing her to eject the jawbreaker. "Thank you," she splutters as she picks up the candy. "By rights, this belongs to you now," she says, handing you the wet slobbery ball of hardened sugar.

You stroll into Bits 'n' Bobs and keep an eye on the cameras. One of them tracks you as you make your way toward the back of the store. As you wander down the hardware aisle, you spot a flashlight hung up on the rack. Fifty grand? No thanks! You discreetly slip the flashlight up your sleeve out of sight of the cameras. As you exit the store, nobody even notices the odd-shaped bulge on your forearm. Because this is Torn City - everyone's built weird around here.

An old man is haggling with the assistant as you enter the pharmacy. "I'll give you twelve bucks and eight cents. That's my best offer," he insists. "This isn't eBay," responds the clerk, "The product costs thirty-five thousand dollars." While the old dude continues to negotiate, you take a walk to the back of the store. There's no camera in the far right corner by the entrance to the stairway, so you linger there a while. When you're certain you're not being watched, you take a medkit and sneak it over to the next aisle. Using a pair of scissors taken from the rack, you snip the security tag clean off. With the medkit smuggled under your sweater, you leave the store without triggering the alarms.

Heading out toward the west of the city, you keep an eye out for interesting locations to tag. Your walk takes you out into the sticks, where you come across a secluded cabin. Knocking on the door elicits no response, so you drop your tag's outline on the side of the property. You then try to fill in your lettering, but the wet weather causes your work to bleed. You've just about finished when a woman exits the cabin holding a crossbow. "This your place?" she asks. You shake your head, to which she responds, "Mine neither" before walking off.

You head out into the west side farmlands looking for spots to tag. You pass the slaughterhouse and see two guards roaming the lot out front. You slink off behind a wall where they can't see you and drop your tag super quick. A truck full of pigs arrives at the slaughterhouse gate just as you're done. Thankfully, they're the edible kind - there are no cops here to bother you.

You're starting a quick throwie on the side of a bus when one of the passengers gets off to talk to you. He tells you he's been mistakenly declared dead and it's causing him some issues. The perfectly healthy gentleman asks you to spray "Jed's Not Dead" in ten specific areas across the east side. He slips you a few hundred bucks and you fulfill the man's odd request. It's only when you're done that you worry if you've just been commissioned by a ghost.
