Security and Contraband

Security in Probably Stolen inspects at random, checking for contraband, and a case of 300 to 1,499 credits means arrest, 1,500 or more execution.

Hiding contraband

1:05 Never display contraband: GitM lost everything to a single inspection. Hide it in a Smuggler's Bay, or behind the poster with the mini bay; TreyexGaming's notes measure that space as 2x2. The studio's patch says goods in a bay are no longer confiscated when the bay sits in the trash or behind the poster. Discovery odds depend on each item's heat.

Bribes

The bribe is 100 + 2 x day number - 2 x Security reputation, between 40 and 400, by AllThingsHow's reading. Donating items in a container to the trade board official counts their full value toward it.

Lowering your record

Joe Wild's Fixers silence witnesses and clean up evidence, for a fee, with suspected crime raised at that moment, as the panel in a store image describes. Records also decay nightly, and a sentence is decided when the officer arrives. Intimidating cuts evidence by 33%. An officer visits the morning after an investigation completes.

Night robbery

Thieves break in overnight unless you have alarms. An uninsured night has a 33% robbery chance, plus 5% for each further one, with Joe Wild's insurance from Day 4. Or buy the Security Alarm, or take Vigilant.
