Self-filling items: the camera, the USB, the tablet
Some items fill themselves up while you steal. You carry them with you, they collect points from what you're doing anyway, and when full they are worth much more.
What they are and what fills them
- Action Camera: from robber deeds, but only from a certain Notoriety level. It has 3 tiers.
- USB Hacking Tool: you hack computers in the locked rooms. In the Art Gallery there is one that gives 2 points.
- Code Tablet: you open safes around the city.
- Deposit Box Keys: you crack the deposit boxes in the bank. It takes the longest.
- Cargo Sheet: you hand in cargo at the Smuggler. It has 3 tiers.
- Lab Flask Set: you pick up the bag of powder after a batch in the lab.

- Drill for the bank vault = 1 Action Camera + 2 USB Hacking Tool + $50,000.
- Glass Cutter for the Gallery = 3 Code Tablet.
- ID Card for the gold vault in the bank = a full set of Deposit Box Keys.
- A full Action Camera can also be traded for a Decoder.
Or you sell them
Full ones sell well at the Fence. The price goes up with Notoriety (up to +50% at level 5), so sell them when you're high.
Tip: The game doesn't say how many points are needed. Players say about 5 computers for the USB and about 4 safes for the tablet.
Tip: You unlock them in Larry's Tree, the Gadgets branch.
Tip: Don't sell them half-full if you have a bank plan. They are slow to refill.
