*UPDATED* New Event: Robbing Spree 7/18

Robbing Spree involves Robbing Houses, sending and receiving Knob Wrench gifts, use of stamina and wow there's a lot going on here! More *gifting* while we have poker and two secret districts already? Brilliant (facepalm)

I clicked "Go Rob" after I had enough of the Knob Wrenches 

I was about to grab the shot of what it looked like after I robbed but the page evaporated because I had triggered *three* alarms, so pay attention!

This part is what you will see when you click the little Question Mark on the Robbing Spree

(How To)

When you ask for more Knob Wrenches, a beg post will appear in the feed

More How To:

*You can earn a total of 20 Knob Wrenches per day*

This seems to me to be too low considering how many it takes just to get *inside* the robbing.

******UPDATE*******

Earn up to 50 Knob Wrenches per day 

(20 from requests + 20 from feed + 5 from clicking feed  + 5 from jobs)

About the Houses

**************UPDATE*************

What it looked like after I robbed a neighborhood

I robbed *one* more, got a 2nd "alarm" and collected and a new pop-up

*************UPDATE************

I'm tired of all these events, and I'm sure you are too. Yeehaw.

By The Bookie Secret District (facepalm) 7/17

Bookie

(Henchmen, 84 att/ 192 def)

The banner just popped up in game.

I clicked "Go Now" of course, and was stopped cold by this

(facepalm) Seriously, Zynga? We already have *one* secret district going on, and you want to open this one up *and* charge me 35 Reward Points for the pleasure? I then clicked the cute little question mark next to the 35 RP deal 

The Bookie has good stats, for now, but still... more crap to send during a poker season?

*eyeroll*

Stop screwing around with all these secret districts and fix the Third Family Property and the Family Boss fights. 

5 things I would change about Mafia Wars

Collector's Edition Limited Time Bubble Head 7/17

For the low, low price of just 46 Reward Points you can be the proud owner of the Bubble Head

(Vehicle, 186 attack, 114 defense, +10 health points)

It's shiny, it's pretty, it's new, but Zynga, it still is not helping with Missing Family Boss Fights

Or the Third Family Property still not open
