Question about Claude

There's some things that you can't steal, like, say, for example, he COULD be stealing cash to save up to buy a plane ticket and gtfo of dodge, or something along those strains. And that would take a long time to save up for. e___e

I don't know. Maybe he's just weird and thinks stealing money is not as bad as stealing goods? :X

If he's getting a plane ticket, hopefully he's got his passport stashed somewhere safe.

I never got the impression he'd been invisible constantly since he left/escaped from Primatech. There have to have been some points where he's had to be visible and function in society. Money always helps at those times.

Why I think Claude was invisible nearly 24/7 after being shot...

In "Unexpected" when Claude wakes up after being tasered, he says to Peter "You wanted to know why I was invisble all these years? It was because of them! And you led the bastards right to my door!"

I don't really think that means he was invisible the whole time, though. Invisible in this context doesn't really have to be literal. I do think he was invisible a majority of the time, but I think there must have been times where he was visible and actually had a need for money.

Like I said nearly 24/7... but you may be right about him decloaking and needing money.

He was just out for an evening stroll and decided, "I feel like stealin' cash tonight! Oh and a cell phone!" What ever happened to that phone?

When he nicked the cell phone the first thing I thought of was a news story where a homeless man got trapped in a dumptruck. That RL story never did reveal how that man had come by his cell phone.

I was under the impression that Kring had a reason for everything... at least that's what all the articles have said...

I wasn't saying they're perfect... just that things like Claude nicking cash meant something.

What about vending machines?
Or maybe sometimes he goes into stores, takes stuff, and leaves money behind.

Or maybe he just didn't think those people deserve it.

Good points. I thought maybe he was leaving it for homeless folks...but he has that "People suck" philosophy.

hummm interesting question. seems like a goof on the part of the writers. You probably could explain it in the most likely way. He was stealing it, just because he can...

I toyed with that explanation, but somehow I think he might have something in mind for the cash. Nice thing about cash, no paper trail... unless you swipe it off a bank.

That could be where he goes when it's too nasty to stay on the roof...

I was wondering this too, but I'm not too savvy on the series - figured I just missed something a long the way.

After thinking about it, I think it's part just because he can... after all, he must get bored, and the other part is cash money is liquid and untraceable - never know when you'll need it. Also, maybe he likes to mess with people. Take money out of one wallet, leave it in someone else's or in their pocket, etc.
