They lose their hands for our amusement. Cruel.
Btw, that machete-man clearly had a lot of experience from chopping hands and was close to level, since he DINGed
he could steal with his feet, then they'll chop them off. but he'll have stumps, wont be able to pickpocket but could probably get away with a loaf of bread or something.
he'll keep stealing till he's just a torso with a head. but then he could get a skateboard and roll around stealing people shoelaces with his teeth
