Probably Stolen Fridge: Chill & Freeze for Higher Prices
Put drinks, bottled water, Nudka or ice cream in a powered Fridge overnight. Most drinks become Chilled (+20% value) in either zone; Nudka in the Freeze Zone becomes Ice-cold (+25%), and Bei’s Premium Vanilla Icecream becomes Frozen (+25%). The bonus lasts one day, so keep the fridge running every night.

Keeping the bonus
- 01
Load it before closing
Price features are applied overnight. Goods that are accepted into a zone still need a powered night.
- 02
Keep it powered every night
Features expire each night. An unpowered fridge cannot reapply them.
- 03
Sell the same day
Goods taken out in the morning keep their feature for that day’s sales.

Each upgrade type goes up to seven. Example: 2 storage and 1 efficiency upgrades give a 5 × 4 Chill Zone, a 3 × 4 Freeze Zone and 4 energy per night.
| Upgrade | Cost item | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Scrap Metal | +1 row to both zones, +2 energy per night |
| Efficiency | Electronic Parts (Common) | −2 energy per night (minimum 2) |
Common questions
Does chilled water sell for more in Probably Stolen?
Sealed water rations and premium bottled water become Chilled (+20%). An ordinary unsealed water container is cooled but gets no price bonus.
What is the difference between the fridge and freezer zone?
Both chill drinks for +20%. The Freeze Zone also makes Nudka Ice-cold (+25%) and ice cream Frozen (+25%).
Why did my drinks lose the Chilled tag?
Features expire each night. The fridge needs power every night to reapply them.
