mugged, and their wallet lifted. The important thing is, the person must
not be crippled in any way, just mugged. You can keep whatever is in the
wallet. The job will pay >surprising amount<

Interested?]<<<<<

>>>>>[This guy >Name & Address< works for Armatech as a computer
operator.
He has access to some files I need quite badly. I haven't been able to
crack his security codes but I have been able to piggy back a watcher on
the security system.

In the guys wallet is his access card. When he gets mugged, and loses the
card, he will have to report it and have the system create a new one for
him. My program will intercept and run a duplicate card for me, giving me
his access. If we just lifted his card and tried to use it that would do
no good, because he would know it had been stolen.

This way, hell, muggings happen. They won't suspect a thing.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Jobs done. I've attached a copy of the vid, thought you might find it
humorous. I thought the guy was going to mess his trousers!

+++++begin mugging.vid

The view reveals late evening on an almost deserted downtown sidewalk. The
wearer of the camera is evidently leaning against the side of a building,
almost hidden in shadow. Scanning the street from one end to the other, a
man leaves a large building and begins walking toward the camera bearer.

As the man closes the distance, a hand comes into view with a cigarette.

"Hey mister... you gotta light?" comes a female voice.

The man stops, looks at the requestor, and smiles, "Sure thing sweetheart."

Smiling like a Cheshire cat, he withdraws a lighter, lights it and holds it
to the end of the cigarette. His smile quickly turns to a look of panic as
he freezes in place.

"Now," the female voice says," how 'bout giving me your wallet while your
at
it."

The distinct sound of a pistol being cocked can be heard as the man slowly
reaches inside his jacket, one hand in the air. He removes the wallet and
holds it in front of him.

Trembling badly, the man says, "There, take it... please don't hurt me!"

"I wouldn't hurt you, you've been very cooperative."

The man visibly relaxes and in the same instant the mugger clubs him on the
head, knocking him to the ground unconscious.

"Ok... so I lied!"

+++++end vid

I couldn't let him go without a scratch or someone might have gotten
suspicious. Besides, he'll just have a headache for a couple of days.
There's no chance of him being able to give a good description. Let's just
say I've got a friend that is a mage that owes me a favor or two.]<<<<<

Of course you can keep any transferable cred sticks. Burn all the ID. Would
