[b]Plot:[/b] The main character of [i]Highway Robbery[/i] is a complete mystery, as the idea of the game is to have a character you won't associate with any one person or group while committing unspeakable acts. Regardless, Video Gadgeteer has stated in the manual that the game is meant to be a "stress reliever" rather than a "murder simulator", and says "have fun, because you'd never get away with this in real life and you shouldn't try to".

What is known is that the character has connections to illegal car exporters, allowing him to jack cars or steal them from parking spots and take them to be crushed, scrapped or (if expensive enough) exported.
