Disclaimer: I searched the forum using the search function in the top right and couldn't find any suggestions related to this, though I am fairly sure I am not the first to think of this TLDR: Suggestion post, suggesting the addition of a job selling stolen NPC cars. Â Dear friends, I for one really love jobs that don't require a set way of handling, so jobs that don't make you go from A (peach field) to B (peach seller). This is why I would very much like to see the addition of a job along the lines of selling stolen cars. As of now, lockpicks have a fairly low use rate (from my experience), there is also no real reason to steal cars other than if it's not able to be purchased from the dealer. This is why I would suggest a chop shop, where stolen cars can be stripped of their valuable parts and sold on the black market (not the actual player shop but the .... imaginary black market). This would enable players to steal cars from anywhere on the map and sell them on location B (the chop shop). Eliminating point A (something like the peach field marker) from the process. Revenue from this job should either vary based on the number of parts that the shop is getting (which might be hard to implement) or only give decent money for supercars and old-timers (the latter being the best). Since the sentence of GTA (the crime not the game) is not the highest neither should the pay, just enough to tempt people into stealing cars that are expensive (since these might be worth the time). Now talk mechanics, I was unable to find a script that does this but I have seen similar jobs on multiple servers. So I think they are out there, but I am just not sure where to look for them. To make it fair for the cops and maybe a way to increase the pay somewhat I've made some bullet points: It is impossible to sell player owned cars, even if its the players own car. (maybe refuse customised cars since these used to belong to players) Chopping up the car takes time, the better the car the longer it takes. During this time cops can still charge players with GTA even if they are not seated in the car themselves. (optional) - Selling the same car (or cars that are common) gives less cash every time (or none) {to stop people from stealing cars next to the chop shop to grind quick cash} (optional) - Cars can only be sold in 100% durability {stops people from driving like morons or force them to fix their cars before getting money for it} Other things to consider are: How do people get away from the chop shop if they just sold their ride? (free bike? Ride from a friend? Walk to nearest garage?) Is there only one chop shop or are there more? (maybe one in Poleto, though that would be hard to patrol for officers) I think this pretty much covers my thoughts on the subject and thereby the end of the suggestion. I have linked two pictures below that show a possible suitable location, though the two remarks above this line do stay valid remarks. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope we can get a useful discussion below here and maybe a response of a dev that could say if this is feasible and if so elaborate a bit other than "maybe in the future".
