Burglar is side mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which becomes available from the beginning of the game.It can only be activated while in a black Boxville between the hours of 20:00 and 06:00. The mission requires the player to go around looking in people's houses for valuable things to steal. Once inside a house, the player must find an item and take it back to the van. The player must also be quiet, as making too much noise will wake the inhabitants up and they will call the police (you are given 10 seconds to leave before they do so). When it starts getting towards sunrise you must go and unload all the things you have picked up.

The player will get different amounts of money depending on what the player has picked up (TV, stereo, games console etc.), where the player got them from, and the amount of items the player has picked up. This also depends on where the player is doing the mission; Los Santos will give you the least amount of money as most of the city consists of poorer residential areas such as Ganton and Idlewood, but the houses in Vinewood offer much more valuables. Homes in San Fierro contain fairly valuable items as it consists mostly of upscale neighborhoods. Las Venturas homes offer the most potential for money, although Prickle Pine is the best place to go. The burglary mission is not required for 100% but getting a total of $10,000 (not necessarily needed in a row) can give the player infinite sprint.
