*{{IL|Escape Route|Appearance=}}[[Purchase Escape Routes]] ({{IL|Casing...|10 CP}}): Lets you escape from the heist at any time without getting caught. However it unlocks the bad card [[A Nosy Caretaker]] which forces you to lose the route (but make 1 Burglar's Progress) or risk a loss of Cat-Like Tread. You might want to purchase one of these the first time you embark on a heist so you have breathing room while you're learning the mechanics, but purchasing them for subsequent heists is suboptimal.

*{{IL|Inside Information|Appearance=}}[[Purchase Inside Information]] ({{IL|Casing...|5 CP}}): Unlocks advantageous options on a number of [[On a Heist (Guide)/Cards|cards]]. This is a good purchase, and 2 should be enough to finish a job successfully unless you draw very unfortunately.

*{{IL|Intriguing Key|Appearance=}}[[Purchase a copy of an Intriguing Key]] ({{IL|Casing...|5 CP}}): Similarly to Inside Information, unlocks advantageous options on some cards. As there are fewer cards that use those, it is generally more useful to purchase Inside Information instead, but purchasing a single key can be worthwhile as some of the card results from using this key result in bonus loot (generally {{IL|Ostentatious Diamond|Appearance=Diamonds}}).

*{{IL|Intriguing Key|Appearance=}}[[Purchase a copy of an Intriguing Key]] ({{IL|Casing...|5 CP}}): Similar to Inside Information, but currently only useful on two cards—[[A Troublesome Lock]] (which also has the option to use Inside Information with the exact same result) and [[An Intricate Lock]] (Perilous heists only, and moot if you have the {{IL|Glasswork}} 12 to 100% the other option). It's therefore generally more useful to purchase Inside Information instead, but purchasing a single key can be worthwhile as some of the card results from using this key result in bonus loot (generally {{IL|Ostentatious Diamond|Appearance=Diamonds}}).
