Theft, or Robbery, refers specifically to the act of stealing money from an NPC, ATM or Bank. It can be a great source of income for criminals looking to fill their pockets. There exist three types of robberies: NPC robberies, ATM robberies, and bank robberies.
NPC robberies are typically low risk, low reward. ATM robberies are low risk medium reward, with the catch that they go on cooldown if you fail. Lastly, bank robberies are high risk, high reward, also going on cooldown regardless of if you succeed or fail.
ATM Robberies
ATMs can be robbed of their internal cash storages by hacking into them and unlocking the safe. Failing to hack an ATM will put the ATM on cooldown for 4 hours, where you will be unable to hack it. Successfully hacking the ATM will reward you with $500. Police are not notified when you fail a hack, but are when you succeed, so be ready to flee if needed.

Bank Robberies
For those not satisfied with mere muggings and hacking minigames, there is a target for only the most daring. The Bank of Redmont can be broken into by criminals seeking the wealth inside its vault, offering a substantial sum to anyone bold enough to sound the alarms.
To start a bank robbery, at least one police officer must be online and the bank must not have been robbed recently. Make your way to the vault door and enter to begin the robbery. The ladder will lead you into a labyrinth of twisting tunnels that you must navigate to find the riches stored within and then to escape. Within this tunnel system, there are two types of loot:
- Gold Blocks give between $5 and $20 upon breaking them.
- Diamond Blocks give between $20 and $50 upon breaking them.
-
Gold Blocks in the vault. -
Diamond Blocks in the vault.
Once you feel as though you have collected enough, make a dash for the back of the labyrinth, where a water elevator will eject you out to the side of the road, beside the back.
