* According to later in-game information, North Yankton is [[CanadaEh an Ontario border town]]. It is incredibly rare for even one Canadian police officer to die in the line of duty, let alone the dozens and dozens of police officers and Michael, Trevor and their two compatriots gun down during the robbery. As the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayerthorpe_tragedy Mayerthorpe tragedy]] indicates, Canada takes this sort of thing ''seriously''. How could Michael [[spoiler:fake his death]] and Trevor be able to move to the States without the entire country screaming for their heads?

** Considering that it was never ACTUAL witness protection - Norton simply arranged something that looked similar to it covertly and unofficially - it's pretty solid. The only reason Wade found him is because Michael used his goofy CatchPhrase and - unluckily for him - Trevor was still alive and connected the dots.\\

** Why would he? The FIB obviously has some use for Trevor, otherwise they wouldn't be stringing him along with fake letters; it might not have been Dave's idea to write those, but he wouldn't have had much choice unless he wanted them to get suspicious about his hush-hush deal on the side. Michael was on a need-to-know basis as far as that went, and getting in touch with him and freaking him out would cause more issues than it would solve, especially when he couldn't just pack up and move somewhere else with his family on demand. There was no problem until Michael created one by pulling a job and spouting his CatchPhrase.

\n** Rockstar most likely ended up having to make it for Franklin because collecting all the letter pieces and finishing the mission unlocked from that counts towards the 100% Completion of the game, and Franklin is the only protagonist who remains alive in all endings. It would've been a dick move for new players to be locked out of getting the 100% if they chose to kill Michael.




* What is D referring to in his last words in "The Long Stretch" when he mentions a gang member "Being put on TV talking about some gang intervention shit?"

* Why the hell do Franklin, Lamar, and especially Trevor, let Molly Schultz leave with the cars in the mission "Pack Man?" Anyone could see that Molly's claim of Devon holding the money to "not induce any unwanted attention" is bullshit, and a guy like Trevor would never give up the cars without getting the money first. So why are Devon's people just allowed to drive the truck away? Why doesn't Trevor give chase and get the cars back?
