Caught: death, surrender, bribe, arrest

It happens even to the big players. Here's what you lose and what you don't.

If you die (officially)

• Robber in Looty Bay: you lose your inventory.
• In the desert: you always lose all your loot.
• Civilian in the city: you keep your bag and gear.
• Cop: you only lose the gear from the station.

Surrender (key `Q`)

They confiscate your bag, but you keep the gear you're wearing. The rule: surrender when your gear is worth more than your bag.

Bribe

• It's paid from the money in your bank account, so without a bank account you have nothing to bribe with.
• It goes in steps of $10,000, up to $200,000.
• If the cop accepts, you keep everything, and he takes a nice sum. Your trunk can still be lost.

Arrest is for robbers who surrendered or got knocked out. Other robbers can interrupt the arrest and free you.

Don't quit the game with your mask on and a full bag! Your character dies and you lose everything.
