The Easton Service Station, GTA IV's most famous myth hunting location, has a doorway sign with the darkly humorous instruction: "In case of emergency, shoot the lock off" — a rare case of the game directly encouraging criminal behavior for problem-solving.

Another subway worker who probably wandered past that creepy gas station sign at least once.

Motor oil — the kind of mundane item that makes the 'shoot the lock off' sign hit even darker.
Last subway worker on the list, but Easton Service Station will always be myth-hunting's number one.
