The Thieves

"I hired some thieves to break into my apartment... and steal some stuff so I could claim on the insurance as you do. The thieving bastards are threatening to tell the insurance company, if I don't give them a cut. Can you believe it? I've left a car inside the factory gates. Use it to go and pick them up from their turf in the Red Light district. Then bring 'em back to the factory so I can make 'em see Marty's point of view."
