| Jun 17, 2020 at 10:30 | comment | added | Dan W | @Nzall agree in most cases, though you could concoct scenarios where that wouldn’t be the case - eg animal rights campaigners might want to steal and release an animal, or a king pin might want to add it to his private zoo. Probably not the best plans overall, but feasible. | |
| Jun 17, 2020 at 10:05 | comment | added | Nzall | Honestly, in case of trying to intercept something that carries great diplomatic value just for delivery, trying to destroy it might end up being easier than trying to steal it. A well-placed bomb would be enough for that. | |
| Jun 16, 2020 at 18:00 | comment | added | Dan W | @Criggie ooh yes, you could have several parties after them - his loyal friends trying to rescue him, his other “friends” trying to silence him, and a rival group looking to give him an “offer he can’t refuse” for what he knows. | |
| Jun 16, 2020 at 13:10 | comment | added | Criggie | Prisoner, whether convicted or simply in custody, could be a target worth "stealing" and its not necessarily the prisoner's friends who are doing it. Could easily be the prisoner's enemies making life go from bad to worse for the subject. | |
