Is there anything you can steal apart from the T.V, stereo and VCR?

[uzi. 1]

are there many mansions available on vinewood? i spent the whole time looking and only found one, it was smaller then most of the mansions, and only had two televisions and a sterio system. is it worth the time looking for a mansion, or just to stick to the hood.

I beleive Los Santos has two vans. Here is the map I have edited. It is between one of those buildings.

Small tip, silenced pistols were created for this mission in my opinion, if you find the owner of the house and shoot them the noise meter disappears.

 

And I third Infinite Sprint existing for any doubters, I even tested it by running from northern LV to southern LS (man was that monotonous after a while). Wish I'd known it existed when I was first playing this game (I didn't find out about until a long while later after beating it numerous times as Burglary isn't required for 100%).

 

BTW, the amount needed stolen is only $10,000 and I did it this last time without even leaving Ganton in only about three in-game days (well, nights). The tips mentioned are good, they also can prevent you from getting surprised by awake people (not that it really matters, just leave and find another house).

I always bump into a person inside the house and i can't get anything in 10 seconds that fast and even i kill then there's usually one more standing around not just sleeping

I think I stole some microwave ovens and game consoles..PS2

I'm just posting because I don't want the last post to be too far away for someone to post and be counted as a bump.

 

I already knew the thing about when you go into a different house, go back into one you already burgled and everything you stole will be back. But I just usually run in, get caught, steal something, run back out and it all takes under 10 seconds.

[Benjimino234 17]

I want to get infinte sprint but HOW! are you supposed to do when there's a person inside not sleeping and if i kill him the cops still get called and i just came out from a corner then 1 second pop! he's dead but he's sees me only 4 1 sec and cops get called it's so hard 4 me!!!

1 question and 1 great tip: Question: Sinse every item is worth the same how much is each item worth ...like 75 dollars or sumin? Tip [since i now know everything is worth the same]: First get a shotgun with about 10 ammo. In Los Santos there is about 6, 2 story apartments located west of Big Smoke's house but east of the Dance club in Idlewood. Oh and the apartments are blue. Go to the house closest to the street left of the entrance fo the dance club (if you have jsut come out of it) Here ill make a cheesy map: | | = street , [--] = entrance, • = house P.S. Idk why but when the map shows up the entrance is right beside the road on the left. Just imagine it about an inch to the right.

____________

| _________

| | [--]

Whew that was hard, hope it helps anwase. its entrance should be on the right (if your looking at the diagram) and it should have a banister on the edge with porch steps to the bottom. Park the van outside of the door, the back touching the banister. Go in adn take everything to the first rom on yuor righ (should be a T.V. and a stereo, atleast usually) Then go outside and put them in a van, you can press triangle as soon as you exact the house if you parked the van touching the banister. Then go back in with a shotgun, no matter what ur shotgun skill is and 'creep' (crouch and walk) down the hall. After the kitchen on your left there should be a staircase and a room on your right. The room on your right has 2-5 ballas in it. Kill the ballas as quick as possible, change to a weapon you can sprint with and sprint outa the house BEFORE the cops come. If you do not kill all of the Ballas they will appear even if you go in and kill the rest. So after you've killed them all go in and in the first room to your right where you stole everything in the room and the T.V. should be there. Grab the T.V. and walk out. Store the T.V. in the truck form the porch and go back in. It's there again (at least it should be) this technique is perfect because you can grab 1 item, store, and go back in, in about 5 seconds. Tell me what you tihnk....Soon you'll be a pro Burglar with infinate sprint

You should refrain from wasting sleeping CIVILIANS at all times as it will only bring your TOTAL RESPECT POINTS down..

 

And NO, this Mission was NOT the sole purpose of the Silenced Pistol...

 

Killing Drug-Dealers on the streets in broad day-light (single head shot..) without alerting the pedestrians is a much more preferable use..!!

[Stefan. 7]

Nice guide mate, helped me alot.

The fact peds are breathing offends me, so kick the police in the ass then EVERY ped (specially hooker) is dead once I see them.

[Stefan. 7]

Most of the time, when I sprint into the house, the occupants usually wake up straight away. Once I pick up the thing I want to rob, they don't even come out of the bedroom. I'm never bothered.

[Raptomex 55]

It is a great tutorial. I learned it all on my own just by playing for about 4 years but I suppose it would have helped in the beginning. Nicely done.

[Benjimino234 17]

Wait so how do you get infinte sprint?

 

like how much money you burgled?

or all the money you burgled all together?

 

Wha?

[Southpaw311 2]

You can also rob houses in San Fierro and Las Venturas. I put the cheat Always Midnight on, and Flying Cars then hit Venturas, and Fierro. Prickle Pine has nice homes. Some is Rockshore West are crappy. Fierro has decent homes. Better than Santos.

All you have to do is steal goods worth $10000. Note that you don't have to do this in one single attempt. It's the total accumulated cash. You can find this out in Stats > Crimes from the Pause Menu.

For what it's worth, the formula used to calculate the amount of money from Burglary is x=20y^2, where x is the total cash and y is the amount of items stolen. So to get $10000 in one run, you'll need to steal 23 items which gets you 20(23)^2 = 20(529) = $10580. The most I have ever gotten in one run is 50 items, which got me 20(50)^2 = 20(2500) = $50000.

I cannot get into a house please help me!

[Stefan. 7]

I cannot get into a house please help me!

You have to activate the 'Burglar' mission between 22:00 and 6:00 a.m. by pressing that activate mission button in a Black boxville. You then enter houses which have a yellow marker in front of them.

[Rabid GTA Gamer 0]

Just today I finally did the mission, and got $13520 and said the missions were complete, but it did not count in my missions completed!

 

Why is that? I stole like 26 items in one run....

 

Does it ever count as completed for anyone?
