Can't beat level 5-7, have Expert on all the others . . .

It's level 5-7 that I can't beat. The highest score I've achieved was $2134.

I do not get a Super Shopper (thumbs up) for this level on my game; should I?

I have ALL the upgrades and I've finished all the other levels. Even when I catch all three thieves, I can't get the expert score.

Any ideas? Thanking you in advance

I wish I could help, but I'm having the exact same problem! (That's why I came here.) I'm beginning to wonder if it's a glitch.

So...has *anyone* gotten expert on 5-7???

Sorry, I am stuck on 5.5 with 10 theives. I can't seem to get $1800. But I can get no thefts.

I know what you mean, I, too, cannot beat this level with expert in all others. It has to be a glitch because my high score is exactly the same as yours, 2134, no matter what I do.

I did eventually get expert on 5-7 thanks to a tip I found on another forum. Here's what you have to do: Let a teenage girl stay in the store after all the other customers are gone. Until you blow the whistle, she'll keep running around making a mess and you can keep cleaning up after her, earning a few $$ each time. After a long time of doing this (be patient) you'll reach the expert goal. You might have to play the level a few times to end up with the right timing - sometimes all the teens are there at the same time as a thief and then it won't work, because you have to blow the whistle on the thieves. But eventually you'll hit one where a teen comes in after all the thieves are gone.

THanks for that tip. Worked for me & finally mange to complete this game

Yep...2134 is the highest score I can get too. I just can't, no matter how much I try, get expert. I have expert on every other level. I too notice that there isn't a thumbs up on this level.

This has to be a glitch.

i have the same problem, also can't get an expert score in level 5-7 only... but my highest score is 2136. i guess this has something with the fact that i let the teen ager threw trash all around during the game.

however, during the last part of the game when the teen ager is among the last customers, she no longer scatters trash so i cannot increase my score that way..

thanks tempehwingz...yeah you were right.. i was able to get an expert on this level finally.. i waited for the time when the teen ager was the last customer and let her ran around throwing trash until i reached the score of 2400, that's when i asked the guard to whistle. it was a good thing that i persevered until the score of 2400, because it turned out after so much time that the teen ager went around picking goods (which means that aside from picking trash i also refilled the shelves) my score was only 2560..
