Stuck in Thief 3: Look for hints in Garrets building

[Guest]

I'm stuck in Thief 3. After escaping the Keeper prison I searched my friend
and got a note that I should go to my home building and look for hints what
happened. Sadly, I can't find anything. I searched Garrets rooms (and killed
the two keeper asassins), the Landlord room and the other two rooms, but no
hints. The only thing I found is a hidden door, in Garrets room with the
hanging man. There is a lock in the door, but after lockpicking it doesn't
open, whenever I activate the door I end up picking the same lock again.

Am I missing something?

I avoided the prison by using "save" a lot so I could always load
before I just got caught. What do your objectives say to do next?
Notes are not your objectives.

Look for a note lying on a table I think.

Someone left a letter for you on your table. Look for it.

That's not a hidden door - that's your practice lock.

The prison is part of the fun. When I heard that I went back to that part
of the city and let myself get caught.

Getting a bit OT (the OP wasn't talking about Pavelock prison) but I got
rather testy at the fact that the player who plays the game correctly is
penalized by missing out on an entire level. Garrett does not get caught.
Period.

There should have been a more legitimate way to trigger that mission than
purposely jumping into the sea, sitting in a fireplace or letting yourself
get sliced up by Benny or whatever contrivance people use to get to that
mission. Maybe a subquest where one of the mission maps is in the Pavelock
loot collection, err.. evidence box and the easiest way to get in there to
steal it is to surrender and break out.

Thanks for the tip, I have it now. Sometimes I'm just too blind ;-)

My thoughts exactly. Maybe there should be a mission where it's impossible
to avoid getting caught, that is to say when you get to a certain point
there is a cutscene which shows you being arrested or something. A bit like
in TDP when Constantine steals your eye and then you have to escape from his
house.

When I wanted to get into the prison, I decided to let a guard kill
me. I was quite surprised at how long this took! The funniest thing
was that every so often the guard would get tired from hacking at me
and stop to catch his breath
