For the simplicity of thingss, I always presume my players use those
pre-paid cellulars. They never think about these things, and are in no
way paranoid enough. On their last run, the rigger used his very own
SINlinked car, and was damn near to get arrested. But then, I am too
nice to bust them anyway... have to get rid of this habit, really.

How do you handle this? Let all the wrath come down to them? Or do you
cut those messy consequences? I mean this primarily for "neglectable"
things, not important ones linked to the run they fail...
