How it works
Each store rotates its security every 10 minutes and remembers you: heat builds with every attempt and cools over time. Pocket is safer, Bag takes more.
Store security
Every store rolls its own security state every 10 minutes. Everyone sees the same state at the same time, and it shows on the store before you try.
| State | Odds | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| Camera on loop | +12% | The cameras are replaying an empty aisle. |
| Guard on break | +18% | The guard is out back with a cigarette. |
| Fully staffed | -15% | Every aisle has an employee in it. |
| New guard | -5% | Eager rookie, watching everyone. |
| Normal | +0% | Business as usual. |
Heat
Each store remembers you. Every attempt adds 12 heat to that store, and a failed or botched one adds 8 more (heat tops out at 100). Each point of heat costs 0.3% success, so 50 heat is -15%. Heat cools by 30 points an hour (one point every two minutes). Spreading your lifts over several stores keeps the heat down.
