Crack The Safe loot not available from Crack The Safe

According to this post by David R. in my news feed, he still has Crack The Safe, but no longer gets loot from doing so. He tried cracking the safe again, but apparently it doesn't provide the loot items now that they are available from operations. In the post, it only lists a dash - in place of the item name.

My old account still has Crack The Safe, and I now for a fact it was working earlier, because I cracked the safe with it.

And I can still add people! But if, as David's post suggests, we can no longer get the loot this way, I'd like to respectfully ask Zynga to get Crack the Safe the hell off my account!

6 new ops in total

Another post by the Mafia Wars blog reveals the names of all of the new operations that were introduced tonight. These are the names and descriptions listed, there are 6:
  • Kidnap the Governor's Daughter: Her ransom will be worth a pretty penny.
  • Assassinate the Witness: Shut the man up permanently, or else he'll spill the beans in front of a judge and jury.
  • Frame a Rival Don: One of your rivals has been getting too ambitious. Get him out of the picture.
  • Take Over Airport Control: Absolute control of the airport control tower will be necessary for running some other ops.
  • Fix the Triple Crown: Rigging the results of the most prestigious horse races will take a lot of guts and skill.
  • Steal Government Research: Other countries are just so interested in what we're doing here. Why not let them buy and find out?

Fix The Triple Crown operation

 
I finally got in on a Fix The Triple Crown operation, here are the requirements for it. It has 5 spots, with similar requirements and mastery as we've seen in previous operations. 

 The rewards are the same as the Steal Government Research op that I got in on earlier.

Mafia Wars, this week and next

Better late than never! I thought they were going to start doing these weekly updates on Fridays, but at any rate, here it is. I'll skip over this past week's events, as I think we all already know what happened. 
This Week's Major Bug Fixes
BUG: A quest boss' health would sometimes regenerate before the 8 hour timer expired.
FIXED:
Quest boss health now only regenerates if the player runs or the timer expires.
BUG: Players were sometimes unable to buy items from the Brazil jobs page even though they had enough money.
FIXED:
Players with enough money are now able to purchase the necessary items.
BUG: Certain tasks in Mission: Blood Money were showing up completed and players were unable to collect the associated rewards.
FIXED:
This is no longer a problem for players.
BUG: The fight window was displaying incorrect attack and defense stats when turning boosts on & off.
FIXED:
The fight window now displays the correct stats. It is important to note that this was just a display issue that made it appear that the boosts remained enabled even though disabling them really did eliminate their effect. Since the correct stats were being used by the fighting system while the wrong numbers were being displayed, no player actually ever had an unfair advantage in fights.

Coming Next Week
Steal Of The Summer - this was mentioned in the last Mafia Wars Live broadcast, a "super blowout sale" for many items in the Marketplace. Purchase 15 items and get a "mastery item" for free.

Death By Ice - an icing event for the Families out there. If the family ices enough players during the event, everyone in the family receives "four levels of mastery items". Extra rewards go to the ten top families.

New Mission: Black Market - mission event, I presume. The mastery item will be the Widow Knife, with stats of (52,150).

New Mystery Bags - oh boy, more boosts.

New Operations - new operations, new op loot?

Fourth Of July Items - "Red Hot and Blue" items will be available through July 5th, in honor the July 4th American Independence holiday.
