How do I get in the police station?

There is a hatch behind the police station hidden cleverly

So far this mission looks really amazing!
And despite of my elderly graphics-card, I have a lot of fun!
Nice textures, nice map-layout and story! :D

I suspect that the crowbar that I found in the sewers in the water, near a zombie is useless.
I have been in both parts of the city and I found a crate in a pile of 9 crates and the crowbar does not work.
I found the planks in the tower right at the top of the main gate and the crowbar does not work.
The other crowbar in the quarters above the same gate I can not pick up. Probably because I have the other one already.

Oh, and where can I get my 3rd lockpick? There are a bunch of doors that seem to require it.

I am stuck where Garrett says "I'd be better off looking for another way around" I see no other way around. What am I missing?

Thank you for the quick reply.

I must have combed every inch and no success ..

Still can't find this "hatch". Let's make sure I am in the right area. The police building is the one right across the street from that "mechanist"-type shop, right? Right in the first area you enter when you get past the gate. There are several sets of crates in the back and also a narrow side door that seems to require an extra instrument to open. In some bushes near one set of crates there is a health potion that you can pick up.

another detail:

There are some stones on the ground that look like they have "X"'s engraved into them. They seem to be arranged in a deliberate fashion. Is this a clue?

So I'm in the right area, correct?

Check the backside wall of the police-station.
There is a really tiny fenced-off area with bushes hiding the hatch.
That area is just about 1 square-meter in size. Get in there to find the hatch.

OK, thanks..found it. I was searching around the wrong building completely!

Just a hint for some others who might get stuck:

To get to the area where the hatch is, you have cut down some bushes that will allow you to enter a small grove that is between buildings. Once you get in that grove, you can find an entrance to get to the area behind the fenced-off area that is mentioned by gnartsch.

EDIT^^^^^^^
Ok, so this describes how to get to *another* secret area, NOT the police station. I *did* find the right place -- but just wanted to let people know this little spoiler doesn't apply to that place.

ciscokidd73, I suspect that the case in your configuration.
Do you have opportunity to run FM on another computer?

My other PC is quite old and don't think it can handle it. Single core P4 2.4ghz cpu, 1gig ddr 2700 mem, 256meg agp 4x vid card with xp pro. My laptop has almost similar specs to this PC but games make it run hot. Laptop is dual core cpu, 4gig mem and nvidia 512 meg vid...vista ultimate 64bit.

This thread speaks for itself. Instead of enjoying this stunning fan mission people are getting stuck, annoyed and wasting their time. When will authors learn that getting stuck = not fun.

Use the crowbar like the lockpicks.

In the next mission.

[spoiler]What ? No lockpicks ? So, how am I supposed to get out of the secret wine cellar ?

Also, is there a way to escape the trapped appartment ? I hate taking dammage and I'm kinda anal retentive about it[/spoiler]

Soul Tear, I really-really enjoyed this mission, you have an excellent vision of what Thief's universe should be, but sometime things are really frustrating, [spoiler]like the rooftop entrance to the secret attic in the first section of the town[/spoiler], I reloaded like what, 72 times to do it for just [spoiler]a golden vase[/spoiler] ?

Well, for once, I'm waiting for Ricebug's walktrough to replay this gem :devil:
