Probably Stolen Wanted Customers Guide: Bailey, Smith, and LaFleur Bounties, and How to Report Them

The whole system is one poster, one button, and one rule: only report a face you have matched. Officer Lun of the Security Department hands you the Wanted poster on Day 1, as the last customer of the day, recognizable by his red beret and sunglasses. The poster goes into your inventory as an item, and you can open it again whenever you want, so the nine faces and their bounties are always on hand.

The label at the window never changes, and that is the trap. A wanted customer shows up under an ordinary label such as Lower Level Citizen, and only the face and the poster tell you who they are. If you miss one, the Nightly Report tells you the next morning that a wanted criminal visited yesterday, but only after the fact. The poster check at the window is what counts.

Nine faces, 3,600 credits in total bounties. The three names in this guide sit at the low end of that table, which is exactly why the false-report cost matters more than the reward for them: the cost of being wrong is the same whether the face pays 100 or 1,500.

Two starting perks change what each report pays. Model Citizen costs 1 perk point and pays 50% more per report, and starts you with +30 Security reputation. Convict gives you 1 perk point and pays 25% less per report, and starts you with -30 Security reputation. Since the 28 Oct patch (version 100-REV3), Lou can no longer be shot during any visit, so reporting her with Call Security is the way to claim her bounty.

Bailey pays the most of the three searched names at 300 credits, and he is the one players actually see coming. He appears as a Lower Level Citizen, bald and wearing an eyepatch, selling a rifle, a pistol, and a Security card in a wholesale deal at 25% off. If the face matches the poster, that wholesale lot is the tell: an ordinary seller does not bundle a Security card with two guns at that discount.

The trade-off is the point of Bailey. Reporting him pays 300 credits and gains Security reputation, but the banner Your Store Lost Reputation With The Lower Levels also appears, because he is a Lower Levels customer. If your run feeds the Lower Levels, that standing loss can cost more than 300 credits buys. If your run feeds Security, report him and take both the money and the reputation.

Smith pays 125 credits, tied with Juan, and there is no verified appearance description or first-visit day for him in the sources checked. That absence is the practical fact about Smith: no screenshot caption or secondhand description can substitute for the poster. When a face you cannot place is at the window, open the poster and compare it directly, because Smith is exactly the kind of name that gets reported on a hunch.

The math argues for more care, not less. A correct Smith report pays 125 credits, but a wrong one still costs 8 Security reputation and a 50-credit fine if you hold at least 100 credits. The penalty is flat; only the reward shrinks. For a low-bounty face, the check matters more than the prize, and walking away costs nothing.

LaFleur pays 100 credits, the smallest bounty on the board, and he is the one players most often learn about too late. The Nightly Report example that names a visited wanted criminal names him: the report tells you the morning after that LaFleur was at your window yesterday. By then the 100 credits have already walked out, which is why the poster check has to happen while the customer waits, not after.

The same flat-cost warning applies at the bottom of the table. A wrong call on a 100-credit face still costs 8 Security reputation and a 50-credit fine if you hold at least 100 credits, and one false report is forgiven every 5 days. Never report LaFleur on a hunch for the smallest prize on the board: if the face does not match, trade with him or let him leave, and keep the 100 credits for a day you are sure.

Four moves exist when a wanted face is at the window, and the right one depends on what your run feeds. Report when you feed Security, or when the bounty outweighs the faction cost, as with LaFleur at 100 credits only if Security is your track. Trade when you need what they sell: Bailey wholesale lot is a real reason to deal instead of calling, especially if your run feeds the Lower Levels. Refuse when you want neither the bounty nor the faction cost. Walk away when you are unsure, because letting a wanted criminal leave without reporting them carries no direct penalty.

One perk removes the whole decision. Known Snitch prevents any criminal pictured on the Wanted poster from visiting your store at all. Take it only if you never want this income: it trades every future bounty on the table for never having to make the call. Otherwise, the poster stays your cheapest tool. Give it a dedicated inventory slot, check it at the window every time, and never let a label do the identifying for you.

Officer Lun of the Security Department hands it to you on Day 1, as the last customer of the day. He wears a red beret and sunglasses, and his instructions are short: notify us with your alarm, we will take care of the rest, only report them if you are sure it is them, and you will be fined if you make a false report. The poster goes into your inventory, so give it a dedicated slot and reopen it at the window whenever a face looks familiar.

A false report costs 8 Security reputation, plus a 50-credit fine if you hold at least 100 credits. One false report is forgiven every 5 days. If you are not sure the face matches, do not call Security: the fine and the reputation loss are fixed, and they do not scale down for a low-bounty face.

No. The label at the window stays ordinary, such as Lower Level Citizen, and only the face and the poster tell you who they are. The Nightly Report names the wanted criminal who visited the day before, but that is after the fact. Compare faces while the customer waits.

Yes. Trade, refuse, and report are all real options, and the bounty is only paid on a correct report. Trading keeps faction standing intact but leaves the bounty unclaimed, which is the right call when the goods matter more than the money or when the faction cost outweighs the payout, as with Bailey for a Lower Levels run.

Reporting is the reliable bounty route. The counter gun is for Augs, which every faction agrees should be shot on sight. Since the 28 Oct patch, Lou cannot be shot during any visit, so report her with Call Security instead. For the faces on the poster, the alarm is the claim.

A note on sources: the nine names on this list match this site's factions guide, which names the same nine faces on the Wanted board. Bounty figures, the Bailey appearance and wholesale deal, and the report and false-report numbers come from player-written wanted guides cross-checked against that list. No verified appearance or first-visit day was found for Smith or LaFleur, so this guide does not invent one: the poster face is the check.
