[[Nathan Kane]] commissions detailed getaway maps, known as "gits", to improve the chances for escape after the robbery. Powerful vehicles, like Ford coupes with a V8 engine, at the scene of the crime are known as "work cars" and are discarded after the crime to foil eye-witness reports given to police.
