RLS Vehicle Theft Addon 0.9.4
Latest Update
**Added**
- **Strip for parts when no garage slot is free.** A second stolen car used to be lost when every slot in your garages was taken. Now, with the car stopped inside a garage you own, the shortcut opens a confirmation screen that offers to have a crew strip it for parts.
- The screen shows what the crew pays (the chop shop rate at the car's current heat), how long it takes (90 seconds) and the theft report status.
- Choose **Strip for parts** and the crew takes the car away; choose **Keep the car** (or press Esc) and nothing changes.
- The strip is an ordinary chop shop case: the Underground app shows the car and its countdown, it counts toward your open cases, it survives a reload and it pays like the chop shop. The car is gone from the road, so police, arrests and title checks can no longer touch it.
- The theft XP, the Car Thief, Clean Hands and Carjacker milestones, and the dealership investigation for a test-drive car are applied when the crew finishes.
- The car is checked again when you confirm: it must be stopped inside your garage with no police chase, and no slot may have become free in the meantime.
- Taking a parked car now writes the reason to the game log when it cannot be completed (`beamng.log`, lines containing `rlsVehicleTheft`). Include those lines when reporting a problem.
**Fixed**
- A stolen car now leaves with its engine running. Cars taken from traffic or the street were swapped for their real model with the ignition off, and the engine was never started when the ignition bypass was skipped. The starter now runs for every street theft and only cranks when the engine is not already running.
- Taking a parked car could stop with "no longer available" even though the car was still there. The ignition bypass now waits up to 1.5 seconds if RLS briefly deactivates or moves the car, instead of ending at once. If the parking pool cannot be found by name, the car is released from whichever pool holds it.
**Upgrading from 0.9.0**
- Remove `rls_vehicle_theft_0.9.0.zip` (or any older version) from your `mods` folder before adding 0.9.4. Saves load without any action.

Steal parked vehicles, carjack drivers, or take cars from dealerships. Escape the police, bring your stolen vehicle to your garage, repaint it, change its identity, and sell it through the Underground Market.

when i sell the car i just stole i dont get any money, i just lose. why does that happend?
@THEcream13 Stolen cars can only be sold through the Underground phone app (install it from the phone’s App Store). Selling one through the garage computer, the official marketplace, a trade-in or an auction triggers a title check: the car is seized and you’re fined. Also note the identity change costs at least $1,200, so very cheap cars can sell at a loss.
Its a great mod, the only issue I have is that if I see for example a tuned ibishu on the road and steal it, the car transforms into the base version of the car. Like the ones in the main car selector.:The red 200bx, the blue D15, etc...I wound add that the version of the car that is being stolen is the same one that you get to drive.
@C123456789 Thanks for the report, confirmed. Parked cars are simplified props and get swapped for the real model when you steal them, and right now that swap uses the model’s default config. A fix is planned for the next version.
Haha, I'm not surprised that the idiots on the forum are giving bad ratings — they want the mod to be hand-written from scratch, they don't understand that it's the age of technology and almost everyone uses AI for help or writing from scratch. I haven't checked your mod, but considering you used Claude, I think the mod deserves much higher ratings. I often use Claude myself for working on my projects. It's very good that you posted the code on GitHub. Good luck, friend!
@Antonkrd1 Thanks a lot, mate. I really appreciate the support, especially after everything that's been happening on the forums. I never tried to hide the fact that I use AI, and that's exactly why I made the source code public. I'm just building something I enjoy and sharing it with others for free. Glad to see someone understands that. Thanks again, and good luck with your projects too!
car jacking civilian car what is driving is bugged because i dont have any control of it
@ED Thanks for reporting this. I'll look into the issue with hijacking moving vehicles and see what's causing it. I'll try to get it fixed in an upcoming update.
really cool! this is a great mod and makes career mode not boring :)
@Opelastrag Thanks bro, really appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the mod. I've got more features planned, so there's plenty more to come :)
is this a virus??
@secondcrisis not saying that it is a virus but thank you for your answer
@THEcream13 No, it's not. I've already shared my GitHub repository, where you can review the source code yourself. You can also scan the files with VirusTotal if you have any concerns. Please verify your claims before calling something a virus.
hey everyone, if you've tried the mod i'd really appreciate some feedback. i've noticed a few 1 star ratings and i'd like to know what went wrong or what you didn't like. the mod is still in beta and i'm actively working on improving it, so any feedback helps
