That, coupled with the equipment available for purchase on popular website Tools4Thieves, makes burglaries a player preference thing and easily the most fun element of the game.

Players can cut a perfect hole through glass like Catwoman or electronically disable locks to make sure even the smartest homes feel stupid once The Thief has entered and left. Thief Simulator also features a nice surveillance system that sees The Thief watch his next targets from afar, marking their daily routines to best plan out when to make his play. That, too, can be augmented and modified - there are mini cameras that can be placed in mailboxes, for instance, beefing up the surveillance element of the heist. Should players get in a spot of trouble, there are various places to hide within and around homes, including garbage bins and closets. That's highly recommended, by the way, because the alternative is driving The Thief's car, which handles somewhat like a cross between one of those wagons parents pull their children around in and a brick on two-and-a-half wheels.
