They count those two jobs as different? Hmm, well after some thought, the illegal type of thief generally doesn't have fellow thieves to lie for him, provide an alibi, plant evidence, rough up a suspect, lose paperwork, and in general facilitate his thievery. I guess they should be different after all.

Even if there is no outright malfeasance, one still has to deal with their bureaucracy to get ones stuff back, too, and then by law they don't need to give it all back, iirc. Isn't there some rule about cash that says they only need to ballpark it?Malcolm wrote:They count those two jobs as different?
