1. Version Updates
====================================================================

January 7, 2003:   Yay, Gamefaqs accepted it, hehehe my 4th VC guide!
                  Added a bit more info on store robbing, as a few people have
                  emailed / IM'd me, so to prevent me answering the same thing
                  over and over, I have put it in here.

January 4, 2003:   Corrected a few "spelling/grammar issues" Which should make
                  it acceptable by GameFAQS.

December 15, 2002: Started the guide, very basic. going to add all
                  of the locations of the stores soon.

=====================================================================
2. Introduction
=====================================================================

In Vice City there are 15 stores that are required to be robbed. This guide
will help you to find them, and claim the rewards that the owner will fork
over.

The reason I'm writing this guide is because there isn't one at gamefaqs, and I
just thought that it would be a good idea to help people find the right
locations for the stores that they need to rob for 100%.

Enjoy :P

=====================================================================
3. Email Policy
=====================================================================

Feel free to ask me about anything to do with GTA:VC, I'll try my best to
answer all questions, because, even though I'm still playing through it (for
the 3rd time) I think I know quite a lot about it. You could also email me
about any problems you are having with the guide, any errors, or anything else
that you see is wrong. If you have any better directions, or techniques for
robbing stores, feel free to send me them and I might put them in. Oh, and
compliments are permitted, as are constructive criticism, don't bother sending
me shit like Viruses though, or you'll get much worse done back... Nuff said.

Thanx for reading it.

4. How To Rob Stores
=====================================================================

To rob a store, you must have a gun with auto aim, you can see these at the
section "Which Weapons To Use" towards the bottom of the guide.

Walk into a store and equip your desired weapon, then auto-aim at the store
worker. He will stand back, and put his hands up, He will then give you cash
one at a time, the first cash icon he will give you wont do anything to your
wanted level. The second will give you 1 star, the third will give you 2 stars
and the 4th will give you 3 stars. The longer you hold up the shop keeper for,
the more he will give you, but consequently your wanted level will rise too.

You only have to collect one of his money icons, then you can kill him, and the
store rob will still count, so you can escape with only 1 wanted star!

*NOTE*

You can kill the shop keeper first then collect his money, he doesn't have to
be alive when you take the money.

DO NOT TRY TO ROB AMMU-NATION, the guy is armed and will fire.

5. Store Robbing
=====================================================================

*********************************************************************
A. East Island
*********************************************************************

___________________________________
1.Bunch Of Tools - Washington Beach
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

This is very simple to find, pause the game, and look at the radar. Just over
the really small bridge you will see a hammer tool on the radar. Head to here
and go into the store. Hold the shop keeper up and take his money.

_____________________________
2.Jewelery Store - Vice Point
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray". Its a spray can icon on you're radar. From
there, head [SOUTH]. When you reach the end of this street turn left, and then
make the first right. Just after the mail boxes on the right you will see the
Jewellery Store that you are going to rob. Go in and wave you're gun about then
get you're money from the shop worker.

______________________________
3.Dispensary Plus - Vice Point
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" again. This time follow the road along to the
[NORTH]. when you reach the top of this street, you will be facing a row of
buildings, go to the left side of them, and a short way along you will see the
green and white "Dispensary +" sign on the right. Go in there and do your
stuff.

___________________________
4.Corner Store - Vice Point
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" once again. Follow the road along to the [NORTH]
just like before. When you reach the end of this strip or road you will come to
a row of buildings, for the store before you went to the left side, well this
time you are going to the right. Turn right, then make the first left. Keep
heading along this road to the [NORTH], and literally just after the first
right turn the store will be... on the corner. Go in and get some bling bling.

_________________________
5.Gash - North Point Mall
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" head [NORTH]. Take the first right and follow
the road to the end. Once you reach the end of this road turn left and follow
it along until you see the huge mall, which will be on the left. You can go in
anyone of the entrances, but I suggest going in the [SOUTH EAST] entrance, as
that's where I will give directions from.

As soon as you get in the mall walk forward and to your left and you will see a
store with glass windows and the word "Gash" printed all over them. Go in here
and hold up the guy at the [NORTH EAST] of the lower level.

___________________________________
6.Jewelery Store - North Point Mall
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" head [NORTH]. Take the first right and follow
the road to the end. Once you reach the end of this road turn left and follow
it along until you see the huge mall, which will be on the left. You can go in
anyone of the entrances, but I suggest going in the [SOUTH EAST] entrance, as
that's where I will give directions from.

Once you get inside head [NORTH] the whole way, and when you reach the north
point of the, well... North Point Mall you will see the store on your right.
Go in and do your thing.

______________________________
7.Tooled Up - North Point Mall
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" head [NORTH]. Take the first right and follow
the road to the end. Once you reach the end of this road turn left and follow
it along until you see the huge mall, which will be on the left. You can go in
anyone of the entrances, but I suggest going in the [SOUTH EAST] entrance, as
that's where I will give directions from.

After you go in, head to the left, and go past the "Gash" store. Opposite you
will probably see "Ammu-Nation" and next to that is "Tooled Up". Go in here and
point your gun at the store keeper to grab his cash.

________________________________
8.Music Store - North Point Mall
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray" head [NORTH]. Take the first right and follow
the road to the end. Once you reach the end of this road turn left and follow
it along until you see the huge mall, which will be on the left. You can go in
anyone of the entrances, but I suggest going in the [SOUTH EAST] entrance, as
that's where I will give directions from.

Once inside, go towards the middle of the mall, and go up the escalators. when
you get up to the top, turn left and go along and into the store. Point your
piece at the store owner and grab his cash.

That's The East Island Finished!!!

_____________________________
10.Screw This - Little Havana
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the bridge leading from Starfish Island, head left. Take the first right,
and follow the road up. Exactly opposite the first right turn is "Screw This".
Pop in and ask the owner nicely for some money. If that doesn't work, which it
probably wont, just point your gun at him, and he should give you some.

______________________________
11.Cafe Robina - Little Havana
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the bridge leading from Starfish Island, head left. Take the first right,
and follow the road all the way up to the end. When you've done that turn
right, and then go right again at the next chance you get. Right on the corner
is Cafe Robina, go in, and point your gun at the owner.

_____________________________
12.Laundromat - Little Havana
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

From the bridge leading from Starfish Island, go right. Take the first left,
then go right. Follow it to the end, and go left again Follow this road all the
way [WEST], and just after the furthers right turn, you will see the laundry on
the right. Go and get your cash from the store owner.

______________________________________
13.Ryton Aide Pharmancy - Little Haiti
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Pay & Spray". From there head, well.... [NORTH] for 3 secs,
and you're at the Pharmancy! So rob it!

____________________________
14.Jewelery Store - Downtown
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Ammu-Nation". From there, head [WEST]. when you reach the end
of the street, turn left so that you are heading [SOUTH]. Follow the road all
the way down, and just as a big open space appears to your right, stop, now
check the walls on the left of the street, and you should see a shop that you
can enter, so go in it and get the owners cash.

_____________________________
15.Dispensary Plus - Downtown
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Find the [NORTH] "Ammu-Nation". From there, head [WEST]. when you reach the end
of the street, turn left so that you are heading [SOUTH]. Follow the road all
the way down, and around to the left when it turns. As soon as you turn the
corner stop! the store is on the right, and is pretty much the first thing you
will see once the road goes back straight from the bend.
