How Red Bull uses football (and other sports) to build their brand, the success of RB Leipzig in German Soccer. An excellent example of how corporations use various means to advertises themselves which sometimes becoming money making enterprises in their own right.
The celebrity impersonators making money on Cameo, it seems there is at least the chance to have some confusion on an extraction mission here. Or possible a way to help pay for that body sculpt into an obscure 20th C actor.
Need something valuable and interesting to people to steal (or need to protect)? What about Bob Ross paintings which are surprisingly rare given the number he painted . . .

Robots and cows, living together in harmony, at the Oldenkamp Diary. Would be an interesting place for a chase or fight.
Notes:It has been a bit since I did one of these, hope you find it interesting.
