The director said in the Q&A at Chicago Film Festival that he grew up around people that operated like that he was telling no lies ;-).

The actors and the business owners were in on the premise, but the film itself is a work of fiction, albeit a highly realistic one.

I believe Street Thief did win an award in Chicago, and Bader (the director) got some kind of award also, but it never got a wide elease. It has shown on cable though, although never when I could see it again..
