What I learned is that getting caught is equated with feelings - they both get into the way of my money :)

12 Rules For Life (Garrett style).
1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back (at least every now and again, especially when you've been crouching in cramped sewers for hours on end).
2. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping (that is, if you are helping that someone to a ridiculously large bag o' loot).
3. Make friends with the fences who give the best prices.
4. Compare yourself to Garrett of yesterday (TDP) rather than the Garrett of today (Thiaf 2014).
5. Don't do anything that makes the Citywatch want to kill you (stay out of sight, don't make fun of of their helmets).
6. Set your gear in perfect order before you burglarise the world.
7. Pursue what is expensive, not what is cheap.
8. Tell the truth, or at least don't lie (if you get caught by the Hammers, they may go easy on you).
9. Assume the person you are eavesdropping on knows something you don't (like a safe combination).
10. Be precise with your water arrows.
11. Do not bother Burricks while they are burping.
12. Pet a rat when you encounter one on the floor (then train it to get those hard to reach prison cell keys).

Don't let yourself get carried away with feelings. They'll get in the way of your money.

Actually nihilism is good.

Probably mentiod but:
Don't wear tap-dancing shoes on a burglary
Thieving doesn't pay particularly well. Even the world's greatest thief is still always only a payment or two away from being kicked out by his landlord

Like the Jordan Peterson reference! In the Thief universe, I think he would definitely be a Keeper!:cool:

Small wooden crates can be very useful.

Not quite right, but most people get that impression when they first encounter him. Let's not derail this thread, however. Comm Chat is the place for such things. My original post is neither a rejection nor an endorsement of JP's views.
