The Crook

"The name's Chonks, Marty Chonks. I run the Bitchin' Dog Food factory around the corner. I got money troubles, but hey, who doesn't right? I'm meeting my bank manager later. He's a crooked bastard that keeps bumping up the loan repayments so he can cut a slice. Take my car, pick him up and bring him back here. I've got a little surprise for that blood sucking leech!!"

- Marty Chonks

The Crook is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Bitch'n' Dog Food Factory owner Marty Chonks from a public telephone outside the factory in the Trenton district of Portland, Liberty City.

Description
Claude answers the payphone in Trenton and finds a man named Marty Chonks on the line. He tells Claude that he needs some help. He tells Claude that his bank manager has been lying to him and taking an extra cut of Marty's profits, and wants Claude to take a Perennial from the factory and pick him up. Then he wants him to bring the bank manager back to the factory to "talk" with him.

Claude goes to see the bank manager and picks him up, just as he was ordered. He then drops him off at Marty's, where the two have a little "chat".
