In Probably Stolen, naturally spawning events can change item prices, bring specific customers to the station, and remain active for different lengths of time. In this guide, I list each naturally spawning event along with its price changes, duration, cooldown, upper-level charity, unique effects, and customer details.
Events triggered by a shady customer can have a different duration from the same event when it spawns naturally.
Events List and Stats
Below, I cover the naturally spawning events in Probably Stolen and the information tied to each one.
