Impound/Lost thoughts

First and foremost, thank you to the devs for always finding and making improvements to life in Badlands. Your work is appreciated!

I do have a thought about the impound/lost process. I have had a few times where my FiveM crashes, and I come back to my vehicle being in the Lost area of the impound. At $5k a pop, this can really add to the grind. I feel like game/server crashes are really out of the users hands and shouldn't be punished for it.

On the other hand, I really do like the impound fee. This makes total sense since the player did something to warrant their car being impounded, and in real life you would pay a fine to get your car back from impound.

I would propose that we switch the fees around, so that Impound is $5k and Lost is $1k.

Thoughts?

The impound fee is intended to be high. 

However, given that the system is new and not yet perfect and uncontrollable problems like game crashes may cause unfair vehicle loss, we may lower the price to be more in line with garage prices until the system is more stable.

I'm ok with the impound fee being high. It's the lost fee that I think is too high. I would think lower price would be even more correct if it's unstable. Then raise it when it is stable. It's kind of out of players' hands at the moment and costing a lot of money.

If you crash does the vehicle instantly go to the Lost lot? Only reason I ask is because if you crash and a cop comes across an abandoned car in the middle of the road, it'll get impounded. So still a 5k fine to get it back. 

No, my FiveM crashed last night twice within a few minutes. Both times I was back on in less than 2 minutes and my vehicle was gone. I was way away from where any cop would have been.
