Seeking Advice: Investigating Stolen Item

[StrangeDynasty]

Hullo!

Currently I am working a case to find a stolen jade necklace for someone. While both individuals will let me into their home with the quest dialogue option, they are extremely unhelpful otherwise (not willing to answer questions without bribes, not willing to be fingerprinted).

Further, I have searched the study, where it was claimed the item was, and there zero clues - literally none. The only things I could find scouring their whole apartment were some different fingerprints on the front mat. That's it. Beyond that, I would literally need to question every person in the address book and find ways to get everyone's fingerprints. I'm not sure if I am missing something, if it is bugged, or if I am dumb lol.

Any tips or such would be greatly appreciated!

My first point of call with fingerprints from Stolen Item missions is the victim's workplace.

More often than not the thief is someone they work with. Go in and fingerprint scan the locker keypads. If you get a positive, find out their address from their employment records and then go toss their apartment.

Also, scan neighbouring doors. You might get a hit from a neighbouring apartment.

The vast majority of my stolen goods cases have been a work colleague, two more were neighbours. And like five were complete dead ends that I just abandoned because they were too much busy work to investigate.

I've had a couple of missions like this where I have been completely unable to find the item. Nothing in the suspect's apartment, nothing in their workplace. Even tried tailing them to no avail.

Others on Steam have suggested that maybe the item has fallen through the floor or such.

Ah that is indeed possible as I have had both items and myself fall through the world lol.

Use the cameras in the apt building, and pin everyone who is near the apartment at the time of the theft. Then show the photos to the employer, they'll tell you which of them they know, and they're usually the thief.

Cameras can be pretty unreliable. They definitely need another quality pass or three.
