Steal From The Rich! Item Index: What It Records and Its Rewards

Quick answer

The Item Index is Steal From The Rich!'s collection record — it records what you've collected, and you check it at your base under the framing "Item Index: Check and claim rewards." Its rewards can give money and Speed, and the entries it's linked to by name are the fossils matching the Archeologist area.

• Named districts help you locate new crate targets while the index records your collection.
• The index sits among the base readouts, listed between passive income ("Read your display") and offline income ("Check your estimate").
• Fossil collection entries are the only entry group with a documented area pairing — they match the Archeologist area.
• Not documented: the full entry list, an entry count, internal tabs or categories, or a completion percentage.

Item Index rewards: money and Speed

The fan wiki's passive-income guide treats the index as one of the progress elements you review at your base: "Item Index rewards can also give you money and Speed." Those are the only reward types it reports — no claim steps, reward tiers, or per-milestone amounts are part of that reporting. The guide also draws a boundary worth remembering: "Claiming one does not mean your displayed treasures now earn at a higher rate. Check the display, collection rewards and wallet separately so you can tell what changed when you review your progress." An index claim is its own payout; it does not raise the income rate your displayed treasures show.

Fossil entries and the Archeologist area

The Archeologist area guide (dated September 26, 2026) is where entries connect to a location: "Find the Steal From The Rich Archeologist area by its sandy street. Use fossil landmarks for orientation and review the matching Item Index collection entries." That confirms fossil collection entries exist in the index and belong with the Archeologist area — but it doesn't name the individual fossil entries, and no other area pairing for the index is documented.

What this index reference doesn't cover

Several things you might expect from a collection database aren't documented, so they're left blank here rather than guessed: the full entry list, a total entry count, internal tabs or categories, and any completion meter or percentage. Two systems also shouldn't be confused: fan-made crate value lists (an entry like "Mafia Chair" with name, rarity, income, condition, and odds labels) describe item labels on crates — the index itself isn't documented as tracking rarity, condition, odds, or income. Names and reward behavior can shift with game updates, so treat your in-game index screen as the final word on what it currently shows.
