ok for anyone who plays the game. does anyone know how to rob houses?

its hard to do u have to get this cretan van and u have to do it at night

I don't know since I haven't tried it. I only did the one mission where you steal the crates.

Yes, once you have done the mission where it shows you how...you go get the BLACK van (only those ones) and then click the R3 button to start the mission. Then you have to look for homes before sun up (so have plenty of time).

Then just make it back to the garage.

There are only a few black vans, all parked. One I know of is...

Leave the cul-de sac house and head down the street under the bridge.
Next street, turn left (south).
Next street, turn right (east)
Cross the street and head East toward the next major street. Just before you get there, look to the left in an appartment complex. The van is parked right there.

Yeah, right across from the Gym in LS. Robbing houses is lame though. Everytime I do it I get stars on me. It's way easier just killing the drug dealers on the streets and taking their loot.

Yeah you get like $2k for every drug dealer you kill. Easy Money if you ask me.

I have a San Andreas Question do you realy have to bother with the gang areas IE takeing them over? and if so what benifit is it ?

No, Se7en. I took over about 2 and realized it did nothing. I could still progress in the game, and nothing was different. The only thing taking over gang territories does is add to the "Territories Taken Over" stat, or whatever it's called and adds to your Respect meter, but you can get respect from other things. Although, you get lots of guns and $ from killing all the waves of gang members you kill.

It's not necessary, but it gives a lot of respect. I filled my respect bar really quickly in one night by erasing the Ballas from Los Santos lol... So now there's only me and those guys wearing yellow.

Have one question too, does your territories still get attacked once you've finished the last Lost Santos mission?

i took over a bunch of territories and then realized that nothing was happening so i kept doing missions and i did some green somethign mission and afterwards i couldnt take over missions anymore and soon after i was banished from los santos but way later in the game you make a return to los santos and you start takin turf again and you need to have like 30 some percent of territory for some of the last missions then the riots start and it is darn near impossible to take over turf and theres fires everywhere an cars just blow up next to you.

so if Ii take over say all the pink colour turff do they ever come back or are they just completely wiped out ?

Oh and one thing I did find out is that if you grab any mission car etc fire truck and so on and turn on the missions when they attack you area it stops it and you keep your area.

Yeah, man. Once you take over an area, it gets attacked by the gang that once owned it and you have to go defend it.
