Stealing a chip in Night City was akin to snatching a wallet on the subway back in 2011.
Getting caught was almost inevitable—of course, it wasn't common to be nabbed by the NCPD right in the act, especially if you weren't quick on your feet.
However, David was just such an anomaly—
"I told you to cover our rear, not start a brawl!"
In the NCPD cruiser, David and Lucy were gifted with Silver Hand bracelets—
David, barraged by Lucy's scolding, kept silent, which amused the chubby officer from the previous shift.
"You two, stealing is one thing, but beating someone half to death—you think you went a bit too far?"
The officer opened a bottle of Dumb Monkey drink, contentedly saying, "But thanks to you guys, I don't need to go on dangerous duty today.
I heard someone blew up a rocket downtown, the whole street's torched—not sure if it's cyber psychosis or terrorists."
