Miscreant's Tools

Crowdcaller

A painfully shrill brass whistle on a ball chain necklace. Summons a group of unrelated people to the area it's blown. Takes 2 minutes to gather enough bodies to cause a distraction or cover an escape. The assembled crowd doesn't know why they're there, they just felt compelled to show up.

Peephole
Tiny glass marble set in the middle of a 1" wide steel disc. Push it against a solid surface and it shows you what's on the other side with a fisheye distortion. Takes a few second to sink in and activate and to pry back out.

Granny Cart
A two-wheeled collapsible wire shopping basket with a long handle and cute floral-print canvas liner. Can hold up to 500lbs of stuff but never weighs more than 40lbs. Anyone looking in only sees groceries or thrift store and flea market finds.

Undercity Map
Pocket-sized folding map of thick waterproof paper. Shows the city's sewers, maintenance and utility tunnels, and service corridors in minute detail. Automatically redraws itself to show structural changes and current hazards, including guards and other people.

Anonymizer
An officious-looking matte black clipboard with a random assortment of forms. Blurs your image on live CCTVs and surveillance footage leaving only a pixelated mess. People can see you face to face but have trouble describing you or even remembering you were there once you're out of sight.

Payphone
A bright blue handset ripped from a public phone and trailing 2' of metal-sheathed cable. Can make calls anywhere no matter what signal's like for other phones. Completely untraceable. To make a call touch a coin to the exposed wires at the end of its cable. Each coin buys 3 minutes of call regardless of denomination. You can't use the same coin twice.
