Robberies

As a Civilian, there are many different places that you can rob in each city. You can only rob locations within the current city. A warrant for your Arrest will be issued when you commit a Robbery and the Police will attempt to prevent you from completing the robbery.

Casino Robberies

Each of the three Casinos in Las Venturas (The Four Dragons Casino, Caligulas Palace, and Redsands Casino) can be Robbed. A robbery checkpoint will indicate the Robbery Mission location. Once you complete the robbery inside the Casino, you will have to bring the safe to a randomly selected hideout to be cracked and receive your money. A casino robbery is only complete once you reach your hideout. Losing the Police before reaching your hideout will lower your wanted level.

Casinos can only be Robbed in Las Venturas.

Holdups

You can Rob Restaurants, Diners, Bars, Dance Clubs, Sex Shops, Inside Track Betting, Ammunations, and Clothes stores in the current city being played. Once you begin a Holdup, you will receive money every few seconds by staying in the Robbery checkpoint. You can leave the Robbery Checkpoint at anytime to end the Holdup and leave with the money you have already collected, or you can wait until the Holdup is complete. Be careful, some store owners will defend themselves!

Crowbar

The Crowbar is a clothing item which you can purchase from any Truck Stop or Zero's RC Shop in Garcia (SF). Holding your Crowbar (/clotheswear) will lower your robbery time (robberies & holdups) and increase your chance of a successful robbery. You can also use /crowbar to quickly take out or put away your crowbar.
Any Crowbars you own will be removed when you are sent to jail.
