==In Assassin's Creed II==
[[File:Pazzi.jpg|thumb|left|245px|A group of Pazzi, guarding their Bank]]The treasure chests apear as hidden boxes.The chests are existent in all Assassin's Creed II cities (usualy hidden in balconies[[File:Chest.jpg|frame|A chest containing florins]] or on rooftops) If the player can find them he will receive some florins.

Chests in cities are protected by either a single guard, or a team of four guards.

The [[Codex Pages]] and Chest 'buildings' are referred to as banks in the [[Animus]] [[Database]].

[[Rebecca]] states that although all Families own banks, most of these banks are owned by the [[Pazzi]] family and that breaking into them (By silencing the [[guards]]) will be worth your time.

Banks will always contain 2 chests or one codex page AND A CHAINSAWUH YEAHZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[[File:MediciGuard.jpg|thumb|right|A Medici Guard, protecting a single chest]]

==Trivia==
*It is possible, In [[Florence]] and [[Tuscany]], to create a small civil war via Banks. To do this you need to come across a Pazzi owned bank (The soldiers are dressed in Pazzi Red, Not [[Medici]] Yellow) and either attract Medici guards to the Pazzi ones or attract the Pazzi guards to a Medici Patrol (By angering the guards and getting them to follow you.) Just lead the idioti to each other and watch them brawl. On a rare occurence, a guard may still target you rather than his other enemies, just silence him and keep your distance. If you want to have even more fun; Invite a few Merc's or Thieves into GAY SEXY TIME
*If you decide to invest in a Well for your [[villa]] THE GIRL FROM THE RING WILL COME OUT AND EAT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Pickpocketing

[[File:Pick.jpg|thumb|260px|Altair about to successfully pickpocket his target.]]
[[File:Pickpocketing.jpg|thumb|230px|Pickpocketing in [[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]]]
In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', '''pickpocketing''' is an important method of [[Investigation|gaining information]]. It is also the only way to restock [[Throwing Knives]], apart from going to [[Masyaf]] and/or going to an [[Assassin's Bureau]]. In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', it is an optional way to acquire florins and items.

==How to Pickpocket==
To pickpocket, the player must press the Lock On button. Depending on [[Controls|control settings]], the Lock On button will be either L1 (Playstation 3), Left Trigger (Xbox 360), or F (PC default layout). While targeting the victim, move Altaïr a few paces behind them and hold the Free Hand button, which will be either [[File:PlayStationCircle.svg]] (Playstation 3), B (Xbox 360), or Shift (PC default layout). Once Altaïr is close enough, as long as you are not detected by the victim or a Guard, you will steal from the victim's bag, a successful pickpocket. With Ezio, you simply hold the Steal button while in Low Profile and go near any target with no need to Lock On.

==''Assassin's Creed''==
===Who to Pickpocket===
There are two kinds of people you can pickpocket, always identifiable by a pouch around their waist, on their left side.

====Informants====
Every so often during your [[Investigations]], you will find a person with a bit of information you could use, be it a map or a letter. They always so conveniently place this bit of information in a pouch around their waist - easy for Altaïr to steal. When you first locate Pickpocketing targets, they will be talking with another person. Position yourself an appropriate distance away (not too close, not too far) and press the Lock On button to begin the pickpocket.

====Thugs====
The [[thugs]] roaming the cities always have knives on hand which [[Altaïr]] can use as throwing knives. Each time you pickpocket them, you will receive 5 knives. If you happen to pickpocket as many knives as, or more knives than you can hold, your knife count will be maxed out and you will see the message "You have acquired the maximum number of knives". Note you can only pickpocket thugs after regaining the ability to carry throwing knives. This happens in Memory Block 3 after killing [[Garnier de Naplouse]].

===When not to Pickpocket===
There are various scenarios in which a pickpocket may fail, leading to a fight:
THE VICTIM FACERAPES YOUR MOM

If you do try any of the above, the victim may notice you and engage you in a [[Fists|fistfight]]. If this happens, fight and kill your attacker or run.

===Achievement===
On the Xbox 360 version you can get an [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] by pickpocketing 200 knives:

==''Assassin's Creed II''==
In ''Assassin's Creed II'', Ezio taught by [[Paola]] has the ability to steal from any non-friendly NPC (this includes normal [[civilians]], [[guards]], etc.), taking money instead of Throwing Knives. To do this he must use Fast Walk to move through the crowd, and then Ezio uses his empty hand to steal. However, if Ezio lingers too long in the area he will be recognized and attacked, so it is important to move quickly after stealing. Stealing can award the player with anywhere from 3 to 50 florins at a time.

In addition, Ezio can loot unconscious or dead enemies for money. But this takes longer and leaves the player open to attack. Civilians will also scold you. It is possible to get over 100 florins with this method, as well as items such as Throwing Knives, Medicine vials, Poison and Smoke bombs.

However, Pickpocketing quickly becomes useless as the player progresses due to the fact the small amount made isn't enough compared to the prices of items that can be bought as well as the profit you gain by investing in the [[Auditore Family Villa]].

In the first game, you will have your hand out reaching for the pickpocket, leaving you more noticeable. In ''Assassin's Creed II'', this is removed and you can now pickpocket quickly, but people may alert guards around you.

===Pickpockets===
[[File:Thief.jpg|frame|The Pickpocket from Assassin's Creed II]]Like [[Borgia Messengers]], there are random Pickpockets in the cities who are shown on the mini-map with an icon: a pouch with an exclamation mark. Ezio can tackle, grab, attack, or throw a throwing knife at them to obtain their money. They appear to outmatch ordinary Thieves at Free-Running and are hard to catch, or kill. They usually contain about 500 florins at a time. Usually the pickpocket runs toward you, but if you turn in his direction, he will immediately change course and flee. Like the Messengers, they will attempt to dissuade Ezio verbally during the chase and beg for mercy if caught. However, they can also steal as much as 60000+ florins on rare occasions, so it is advised to be careful. They are still subject to [[Archers]]' warnings; these will chase the pickpockets once they have judged them to be in violation of the law.

==Trivia==
*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', you can pickpocket the money away from [[Herald]]s who you just paid off, lowering your notoriety for free. Though, if you are caught, this will raise your notoriety by a little percentage, essentially contradicting your initial purpose. Instead, you could slay the Herald and loot his corpse.
*Ironically, during a chase, pickpockets often shout death threats at Ezio, although they are only good at pickpocketing and running while Ezio is a master assassin. Then again, they don't sound very confident when they do threaten him, so it's most likely a bluff, and a very poor one at that.

Borgia messenger

2010-06-13T08:43:14Z

75.182.51.197:

'''Borgia Messengers''', also known as '''Borgia Couriers''', appear in the game ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. Upon spotting [[Ezio]], the messengers take flight, performing many [[Free Running|free-run]] [[File:Messenger.jpg|thumb|270px|A messenger begs for his life]]actions and acrobatic stunts, such as climbing walls and swinging from posts. If Ezio manages to catch up to one, he can tackle him or simply throw a [[Throwing Knives|Throwing Knife]] at him for a considerable amount of Florins, with about 1500 florins per messenger. However, if Ezio kills one, his notoriety will automatically increase by 50%. However, Ezio can still get the 1500 florins (or more) if he loots the messenger. If caught, the Courier begs for his life. After being attacked or left alone a few moments, the Courier will resume his free-running.

Presumably, the Messengers carry important information or funds for [[Rodrigo Borgia]], as they are called Borgia Messengers. Or he could be carrying payment to some official or ally, explaining why he carries enough money to hire ten bands of Courtesans

Interestingly, [[Archers]] begin chasing the messenger as well if he climbs onto a rooftop in his flight. Which is rather ironic as they often call for the guards to help during the chase. It has also been shown that you can trip Borgia messengers so that they fall to their death without being penalized for it.

If you intercept one of them, you get the Achievement/Trophy "Mailman" (10G)

Unlike [[Pickpocket]]s, who have a red icon, Borgia messengers are invisible on your map, although you can often find them at city entrances and they are pointed out by a silver chevron WOAH THERES CARZ NOW WE CAN RUN OVERZ HOBOZ
