Locations?
I don't remember but you'll find some crashed planes and sunken boats off the shores that have them. The only briefcase I found was 12k.

I'm really digging Franklin's character progression. They've managed to make his rags-to-riches story feel quite organic by not outright forcing you to follow it, but instead just nudging you in the right direction by giving you incentives to do things like buy stock and go golfing. Managed to scrape a good deal of cash together, and as of last night I am the proud owner of my very own business, the Towing Impound. :)

Completed the main story last night, but did get hit by a nasty bug that almost broke the game and that I had to work around.
On completing the last heist, I was riding my bike as Franklin when the stranger quest with the broker that needed to get to the airport popped up.
I got him there and he gave me his investment tip.
However, when I opened the Internet app on Frank's phone, the page immediately crashed out. I lost my radar in the bottom left when this happened and was unable to switch between characters any more.
I got around it by quick-saving then loading that quicksave, but the bug was repeatable whenever I directly tried to open the web. I could get around that by opening a link from a text message then manually typing the desired web address.
Worse, there's a choice you need to make at the start of the last mission. The choice I wanted resulted in Frank trying to ring Lester, but his phone would permanently divert to his answering service.
Frustrated, I checked the web to make sure I SHOULD be able to make that call, and sure enough, that was the case.
I reloaded again and didn't access the Internet through the phone and was able to make the call.
Once in mission, I again tried to access the Internet, only to have it crash again.
I decided to continue playing, only to find that I couldn't buy anything from Ammunation and once the shooting began, I wasn't able to switch between characters.
Once again, I reloaded a quicksave from before the mission and didn't try to access the web at all. I was able to successfully complete the mission then.
This bug still plagues my save after the end of the game, and I still can't access the in-game Internet if I try to go there directly, either from a phone or a laptop.
Just a warning for you guys who are currently playing.

Is that on PS3 or XBox360?
Malf on 25/9/2013 at 10:32
PS3.
I've registered it with Rock Star under support too; they know about the internet crash bug, but I'm hoping this'll help them find out what causes it.

Also...am I the only one who's noticed how paranoid and aggressive cops are? Just staring at them or trying to take their picture will usually result in the cops reacting violently. Other users have also noticed what appears to be racial profiling by LSPD.

Yes, this happens - I was playing as Franklin one time and didn't do anything wrong, was just walking down the street, and a team of cops just started following me and tasering me.

That's more or less how the actual LAPD behaves. And they have a long history of violence and corruption dating back almost a century.

I've found a couple of people from Liberty City! Marnie, who's now in the Scientologyish cult. :( I forget their name. The other is Packie! You can find him holding up a store with another guy. They're in need of a getaway driver. If you help them escape, he'll join your crew as a gunman.

Well aware of that, I just thought it was interesting that they went out of their way to have LSPD mimic that behavior.
