Auto Theft (car stealing racket) | Walkthrough Mafia III Guide

It is one of two rackets in Tickfaw Harbor. You can start weakening it up after speaking to Donovan in the story mission "Hot Rubber & Cold Blood". The main objective of this mission is to remove the enemy lieutenant Jack "Junior" Holland from his position. You can weaken the racket by using various methods that are described below.

Important - Before you start weakening this racket, you should install wiretaps at all boxes in Tickfaw Harbor.

• Meeting with Gina Kowalski
• Killing the car thieves
• Destroying the stashed cars
• Destroying a large delivery of cars
• Murdering Junior's enforcers
• Initiating a confrontation with Junior

Meeting with Gina Kowalski

Gina can be found on the first floor of the storehouse with a few luxury cars. Speak with her about the ways of weakening Junior's business.

Killing the car thieves

This objective is very unusual since it is not related to any specific point on the map. Instead of that, you travel through Tickfaw Harbor and look for a car thief who drives towards his hideout with a stolen vehicle. An example encounter like that is shown on the above picture.

You can shoot down the thief or blow the stolen car up with the driver inside

Your task is to murder the thief. You can do it by using a few different methods. If you haven't been detected, you can get in front of the thief, stop at the closest crossroad and surprise attack him from there (it is best to kill him by blowing up his vehicle with a grenade). Otherwise you should shoot at him during the driving. You can aim at the tires and make him crash or you can get close enough to shoot the driver. Each murdered thief will weaken Junior's racket by 5000 dollars.

Important - During this mission you should use one of the faster vehicles (for example one of the sports cars found in the storehouse where you can meet with Gina Kowalski). If a chase is started, you shouldn't have any trouble with remaining close to the thief.

Destroying the stashed cars

Look for barrels or other explosive objects

There are many small hideouts with single stolen cars stashed in them scattered across Tickfaw Harbor. Each of them is guarded by a small group of enemies that should be easy to eliminate. You can also easily destroy the hidden vehicles - look for red barrels or other explosive objects near the car. The explosion should destroy the car.

Destroying a large delivery of cars

Don't position yourself too close to the explosive items because more than a single car can explode at once

Much more vehicles are stocked in a large warehouse that is well guarded by the gangsters. You can combine the elimination of Junior's men with destroying the vehicles because the explosions can kill everyone who is standing nearby. Make sure that you aren't too close yourself because an explosion of a single car can trigger a chain reaction and destroy the other ones as well.

Similarly as in the small hideouts, you can destroy the cars by aiming at various explosive tanks. If you don't see anything like that nearby, then use grenades or explosives (in this case you must walk towards the car to plant a C4 next to it). Destroying all the vehicles in the warehouse will weaken Junior's racket by 30 thousand dollars.

Murdering Junior's enforcers

You can get close to Darrell by using a large container as a cover

Now you can eliminate two enforcers. Wayne Roussel can be found in the northern part of the district, you will find him next to a parked car. You can shoot him down from distance or throw a grenade and make him die due to a car explosion.

Darrell "The Jew" Brand can be found in the port. You should use the nearby containers to easily get close to him and eliminate him from close distance (if you like to sneak up, you can lure him away with whistling).

Initiating a confrontation with Junior

Select the main entrance or swim towards the area guarded by the gangsters

Once you weaken the auto theft racket enough (actions related to Junior are marked with blue points on the map), go back to Gina. Speak with her and go to the car workshop in which you will find Junior. You can enter the enemy territory through the main entrance or you can get there from the water, by climbing on the wooden pier. In both cases it is recommended you act silently. You should especially avoid sentries raising an alarm.

Once you enter the enemy territory, first pass through the large building in which the cars are fixed. There you will encounter at least one sentry that you should silently takedown. Junior can be found further in the "base", more specifically in a small building shown on the above picture. You should sneak up on him because he will kill one of his underlings, making it easier for you to escape if you are detected. You should wait for Junior at one of the exits from the building and catch him there. You can kill or recruit the boss.

Important - In the end you must decide who will receive the racket - Cassandra, Burke or Vito. Each of them will offer you a different bonus in exchange for the racket. You should know that you will be able to change your decision - after taking over whole Tickfaw Harbor you will have to decide which underboss will assume complete control over it (including all of the rackets in the area).
