Port Theft

Sasquatch can **steal** various items the Port, such as coins, oranges, other food, and lumber. The coins and oranges are located in the high security area, and involve more effort to steal; the lumber can be a bit more difficult to escape with.

After each theft, the port goes on lockdown for 3 to 10 days depending on what's stolen, and you can’t work there or attempt another theft until it’s lifted.

The most lucrative but difficult theft is to steal 2 crates of coins stacked atop 1 stack of lumber. If this is your first theft, consider just stealing 2 crates of coins.

## Preparation

These are the things to do before you can start stealing:

* Get the Wrist Watch if you don't have it yet.
* Get the Security Clearance Badge so you can move the security cameras. To do this, successfully work as Port Security 10 times until you receive a promotion.
* Unlock the Port door in the sewers. Enter the manhole near the forklift garage and go south. Check the clipboard on the table for the code. One digit will be unreadable and you’ll need to guess it. This door will stay unlocked permanently.

These things are recommended, but are not strictly necessary.

* Become a Junior Supervisor so you can visit the restricted area freely during the day. To do this, keep working at the Port until you have at least one promotion in each job.
* Complete all 3 promotions in the Forklift Driver job to receive an upgraded Forklift, which can be useful for the getaway. You can take it to Automotive Customs and install the racing tires to make it a bit faster.
	+ During the stealing, you can use one of the forklifts parked near the Break Room instead, but they will be about 30% slower.
* Buy everything from the Fox Shop.
	+ Sneaking Disguise helps you see the security camera zones
	+ Sneaking Boots help you avoid being heard by the guards.
	+ Binoculars can come in handy for knowing what's going on outside your immediate area.
* Renting the Apartment in Town (if you haven’t yet) will allow you to fast travel there, which can be handy if it’s afternoon and you’re tying to quickly advance the clock toward 9:00 PM. Each fast travel moves the clock about 2 and a half hours ahead; you can travel to the same area where you are now.

## Stealing Coins

### Preparations during the day

1. Unblock the Secure Warehouse 2 manhole. To do so, get a Secure Cargo job, and 50% of the time it will be loading or unloading coins from Secure Warehouse 2. During the job, move the steel beams left of the warehouse so they are no longer sitting atop the manhole. The security guard won't notice you moving the beams. You can now either complete the job or exit it without completion; either way, the steel beams will stay moved.
	* If you got the Oranges job instead, try again the next day. You can immediately go sleep in the Admin tower to advance the day.
	* Alternatively, you can try to steal something else that day, such as 4 stacks of lumber from Warehouse C. More info is in that section below.
2. Get the Warehouse 2 code. To do so, check the records room on floor 2 of the Admin Building for the code for Secure Warehouse 2. The codes change every day.
	* Approximately 1 out of 6 days the code will be missing, so try on the next day. The beams you removed in the previous step will sometimes stay removed the next day. You can use the binoculars to check on the Warehouse 2 manhole access.
3. (Recommended, but not necessary) Position your Forklift in an ideal spot. If you received an upgraded Forklift after completing all 3 promotions in the Forklift Driver job, park it near the entrance to the secure area 2, before the workday ends (9:00 PM). It will stay there until you fall asleep. If you didn't use it recently, your Forklift can be found in the lowermost parking slot near the Admin Building main entrance.
	* If you failed to do that (for example, if you finished the last job of the day too late), then later at night during the heist you can instead steal a forklift from near the Break Room. However, your own forklift is upgraded and drives faster, which helps with the final getaway.
	* Don’t bother positioning your forklift during a job; it will reset when you exit that job.
4. (Optional) If planning to steal a stack of Lumber too, visit Warehouse C (the leftmost one) to confirm there's some Lumber there. Some days there is none.
5. Move the cameras which block your targets, and don't go near those cameras for the rest of the day or they'll start following you again.
	1. Move camera 03 to the right, away from the manhole and the forklifts.
	2. Move camera 08 to the right, away from the Secure Warehouse 2 entrance.
	3. Optional if also stealing Lumber: Move camera 04 away from Warehouse C. (If you forget, you can also move these cameras at night.)
	4. (Moving camera 01 doesn't help avoid the alarm later on.)
6. Make sure that you have at least 2 Energy Drinks in your bag, and that you are not too hungry.

### During the night

#### General tips

If you're caught at any point, you will simply be released outside of the Port.

* If you get caught *before* passing the outer gates with the goods, you can try again the next day.
* If you are caught *after* taking the goods out of the outer gates, the Port will go on lockdown.

During the heist, avoid the guards and the cameras; Night Vision Goggles show the camera-tracked areas as diagonally striped.

* If a guard or camera sees you, the “eye circle” will pop up and you will get enough warning to move away from them.
* The exception is if your forklift touches a guard (caught right away) or if the Restricted Area guard sees you while he is standing in his post under the lights (caught right away).

#### Checklist

1. Enter the nearby sewers through the Fox Shop.
	1. You can also enter through the manhole by the Forklift garage and the Break Room before 9:00 PM (may risk Camera 03 seeing you again and resetting its view).
2. Head to the ladder to Secure Warehouse 2 and equip your Sneaking Disguise and Sneaking Boots.
	* If you go up the ladder before 9:00 PM, you'll be thrown out of the port at exactly 9:00 PM together with the other workers and will need to re-enter the sewers.
3. Climb the ladder after 9:00 PM.
	* You can climb at any time after 9:00 PM. Your Night Vision Goggles will complain that it's too bright until approximately 10:25 PM, but you can keep going.
	* If you climb the ladder too late, you may have too little time to finish the theft, and you may fall asleep. Remember that you will fall asleep at 8:00 AM no matter how many Energy Drinks you use.
4. Observe the Warehouse 2 guard as he rotates among 3 spots: door, right side of warehouse gate, and near fence.
5. Open the Warehouse 2 door using the 4-digit code, and open its gate from the inside.
6. Right after the guard moves to his position standing in front of the door on the left, go open the secure area gate; the access panel is on the right side of the sliding gate.
7. Find a forklift (your own, or steal one near the Break Room). Drive it into Secure Warehouse 2, avoiding the guard.
8. Get 2 crates onto your forklift. Drive out of the warehouse and out of the secure area towards the exit.
9. Stop at the break room to drink an Energy Drink at the table.
	* 1 drink will last you until you reach the nearest tables in Town for your next Energy Drink.
	* Drinking a second drink at the same time doesn't seem to do anything.
	* The room has a vending machine with 2 Energy Drinks in case you forgot to bring them. However they cost 50 coins each (instead of 20 as in Stop and Snack).
10. (Optional if you moved camera 04 earlier) You can steal 1 stack of lumber in addition to your 2 crates of coins. The crates can be stacked on top of the lumber.
11. When you're ready to exit, drive your Forklift with goods toward the Restricted Area guard at the entrance to the restricted area.
	* Don't get too close! Unlike the other guards, the Restricted Area guard can see well in his peripheral vision as long as he's standing at his post below the lights. If he sees you while standing guard, you're caught right away.
12. Park the forklift nearby, and go to the fenced-in area to the left of the Restricted Area guard. Use the breaker box switch to turn off the lights, and quickly run back to your forklift to drive out while the guard leaves his post to check. While he runs there and back, his field of view will be small like it is for a normal guard, and he'll be distracted long enough for you to drive the forklift to the exit gate.
	* Once you're at the exit gate, the Restricted Area guard won't see you.
13. Sneak into the Gate Attendant room (enter it from the top through a door in the invisible back wall), go to the lower left corner, and use the switch to open the gate.
	* Be careful: Each time you see an “ear” circle, freeze until it disappears, so the Gate Attendant doesn't wake up.
14. Drive out and toward Town quickly. The alarm will sound, and the security will chase you on Pickup Trucks, but any trucks driving from the Port won't catch you if you drive away toward Town. If they catch you, you will lose the cargo and the port will lock down.
	* Beware: A Port security pickup truck may drive *towards* the port *from* town (from right to left), directly at your forklift along the main road. If you see them coming, quickly swerve out of the way so they don't stop your forward progression. (This is similar to how, during Ranger Danger, sometimes rangers or police cars will spawn from random directions.) If you are carrying any lumber, your vehicle will be wider, and it will be harder to swerve out of the way. This can make lumber theft more difficult.
	* Once you reach the Town, you are safe from the guards.
15. Use the tables near the Diner for another Energy Drink. You must not fall asleep, or you'll lose your cargo.
16. Drive to the Construction Duck workshop, and stop your vehicle in the unloading zone (designated by a popup icon). The ducks will open the crates, and you’ll receive your reward.
	* If the Duck seems to ignore you, ensure your vehicle is fully stopped in the unloading zone, and don't exit the vehicle; the Duck may react with a slight delay.

Each crate contains around 3 to 5 thousand coins, so it’s 6 to 10 thousands coins in two crates. The port will be locked down for 10 days.

* If also stealing a 100-board stack of lumber (worth 1675 coins at the Sawmill) the total value of the theft will range between 7675 and 11675 coins.

## Stealing Oranges

Same as above, except you don’t need to perform Secure Cargo Job to unblock the Warehouse 1 manhole (it's always unblocked). You need to move camera 09 to the left, away from the warehouse.

Each crate contains around 30-50 oranges, so the total loot after selling the oranges to the Vitamin C Enthusiast is about 1500 to 2500 coins. The port will be locked down for around 5 days.

## Stealing Food and Lumber

You can steal food and lumber from non-secure warehouses by using a similar method. Check the warehouses during the day to see which goods are inside each of them.

During the day:

* Turn Camera 03 to the right
* Move the cameras 04, 05, and 06 away from the warehouses you want to steal from, and from your getaway path.

### Gallery

Moving camera 04 away from Warehouse C doorMoving camera 06 away from Warehouse A door
At night:

* Safer method: Enter the restricted area through the manhole near the Secure Warehouse 1 (oranges). That manhole is farther away, but it's not covered by any cameras.
* Riskier method: Enter through the manhole near the forklift garage and the break room. Camera 03 will immediately try to track you, and you need to *quickly* run to the left.

Warehouses and goods:

* Warehouse A contains food, usually including expensive Beef Jerky or Burgers. Food crates contain 20 to 50 items (with more expensive items in lesser quantities), and you can steal 2 crates. If you steal 2 crates of 20 Beef Jerky or Burgers each, this is equal to 5000 coins (if you sell that food to the Island Campground). The port will be locked down for around 3 days.
* Warehouse B doesn’t contain anything you can steal.
* Warehouse C usually contains Lumber (other goods in this warehouse can't be stolen). The forklift can carry up to 4 stacks, 100 boards each. Such stacks cost 1675 coins at the Sawmill, so you can steal an equivalent of 6700 coins. However, on some days there may be less Lumber in the warehouse, or none at all. The port will be locked down for around 5 days.

As mentioned, you can stack two crates (of food, oranges, or coins) on top of one stack of lumber, and steal both types together.

## Aftermath

After the theft, the Port will be locked down for several days: 10 days for coins and fewer for less valuable goods. You will not be able to enter the port through the main gates. You can still enter from the sewers, but all warehouses will be locked, and you will not be able to work jobs. After the lockdown expires, you may again work in the port and attempt another heist.

## Trivia

* If you bring other goods (like empty crates, crates of dynamite or traffic cones, steel beams, etc) to the Duck Workshop, the Construction Duck won’t offer to open them, and will not react in any other way.

## Exploiting glitches

Some game glitches may make the theft easier or avoid the port locking down.

* A secure warehouse can be opened without a code with the use of a Dog. One way is the Dog Handshake Glitch. The other is the Dog Push Glitch.
* During the day, you can lower the cargo onto the ground and push it with the back of your forklift. That way you can move it past the Restricted Area guard without raising an alarm. However, moving it through the outer gate requires waiting until the night, or another glitch.
	+ This only works for goods from the non-secure warehouses because if you move the cargo out while doing a job, it will reset at the end of that job.
* It is possible to steal from the port with no lockdown by placing cargo onto a Pickup Truck parked directly south of the outer exit gate, with camera 01 diverted. A Pickup Truck can only hold one crate or lumber stack.
* To bring a movable bush to the Port (normally impossible because you can't enter the West Highway without a vehicle), do the following steps. Find a movable bush in the campground (for example, at the campsite D), hide in it, and call ``555-2450`` to edit the billboard located at the West Highway. Exit the editing menu, and exit the game to the title screen.When you reenter the game, Sasquatch will appear at the West Highway still wearing the bush. Runt to the Port to bring the bush there. It can be used to hide from the cameras and the security personnel.
