Caveats
- One cycle is one robbery: setup, the approach and the delivery. Robbery work is entirely active, so nothing accrues while you are away and the passive and active hourly rates are identical.
- Three robberies are available per in-game week and each targets a different vehicle, so payouts vary widely. The local and far figures stand for a low-value and a high-value target. Every figure here is a community estimate and none of it is wiki-stated.
- Scrapping a vehicle instead of robbing it pays far less and is not modelled.
