Sweet job on shoplifting Z. Although it took me 2.5 gold or so in fines to narrow down on my safe zone I find I'm tearing it up (success), from a base of 35 ranks. MMs have some cool boosters for edging the contest and eluding capture. CJs tend to last for the duration of a stealing run. And not being able to circle off Stealing ranks is kinda a bonus since you can take a few dozen circles to inflate your stats.
I find I tend to look forward to when the hour is up. And heartily enjoy the big fat mind lock in a neglected Secondary skill. Anyway fun fun.

PS - This also indirectly makes IOE's Agi or Disc stat boost and the Ways more appealing. GJ.
