Steal Types

Every contract rolls one of four steal types from the class’s steal pool in Config.Difficulties. Lower classes lean towards simple street grabs, while A and S contracts are dominated by hostile owners and armed guard details. Behaviour for each type is tuned in Config.StealTypes.

Street Lockpick#

The classic grab — the target car is parked on the street with nobody around. Break in with the lockpick minigame, hotwire the ignition and drive off. This is the most common type on D-class contracts (weight 7 of 10) and disappears entirely from A and S pools.

Pickpocket (keys_on_ped)#

The keys are on a civilian wandering near the car. Shadow them and hold the 6-second patdown to lift the keys — no minigame, just nerve.

• 35% notice chance — if the mark catches you, they turn aggressive and pull a knife.
• Pick range is 2.0 meters and the mark wanders up to 15 meters from the vehicle.

Hostile Owner#

The owner is standing right next to their car and will not give it up quietly. Approaching the vehicle provokes them:

• 32% chance they pull a melee weapon (bat 45%, crowbar 20%, bottle 20%, knife 15%).
• 8% chance they pull a gun (pistol 70%, SNS pistol 30%).
• Otherwise they come at you with their fists.

Guarded#

The vehicle sits inside an armed guard detail. Guard counts scale with class: B spawns 2 guards, A spawns 2–3, S spawns 3–4, each armed with a pistol or micro SMG (50/50). One guard is the keyholder — dropping them makes the keys fall as a pickup, letting you skip the lockpick entirely.
