Car Heist - Advanced Vehicle Theft and Chop Shop System for ESX/QBCore
The Car Heist script is a comprehensive vehicle theft and criminal enterprise system that adds sophisticated car stealing mechanics to your FiveM server. This isn't a simple steal and sell script - it's a complete criminal career path featuring vehicle targeting, alarm systems, lockpicking challenges, police alerting, chop shop operations, parts trafficking, and heat management. Perfect for servers wanting realistic criminal gameplay that requires skill, planning, and risk assessment.
Vehicle theft is one of the most iconic criminal activities in GTA, and this script brings that experience to life with mechanics that balance profitability against law enforcement response. Criminals must choose targets wisely, defeat security systems, evade police pursuit, and deliver stolen vehicles to chop shops for disassembly and profit. The system creates natural conflicts between criminals and law enforcement while providing engaging gameplay for both sides.

What Makes It Stand Out
Car Heist elevates vehicle theft from a simple button press to a skilled criminal profession requiring planning, execution, and risk management. The progression system rewards experienced thieves with better tools and access to luxury vehicles, while the heat mechanics prevent mindless grinding by increasing police response as criminals become more active. This creates natural gameplay cycles where criminals must lay low after major heists.
The chop shop mechanics add depth beyond just stealing cars - criminals must decide whether to chop vehicles for guaranteed parts money or attempt risky VIN scraping for higher profits. Each choice has consequences, and police can track parts sales to identify active theft rings, creating investigation opportunities for law enforcement.
Theft Operations Gameplay
Criminals scout parking areas and streets for target vehicles, with the system highlighting high-value cars based on make, model, and condition. Starting the theft triggers the lockpicking mini-game - success grants entry, but failure can trigger alarms. Once inside, criminals must hotwire the ignition (another mini-game) and deliver the vehicle to a chop shop before police locate it. Each step increases risk but brings the criminal closer to payout.
Chop Shop Mechanics
Upon delivering stolen vehicles to chop shops, criminals can choose immediate full-vehicle sale for quick cash or disassembly for potentially higher parts profits. Disassembly extracts individual components - engines, transmissions, electronics, wheels, and body panels - each sellable separately. High-end luxury vehicles yield expensive parts, while common vehicles provide lower but faster profits. The black market dealer offers premium prices for rare parts but appears only at specific times.
Police Response and Investigation
When vehicle alarms trigger or witnesses report thefts, police receive detailed alerts including last known location, vehicle description, and direction of travel. Stolen vehicles appear in police MDT systems with GPS tracking, allowing officers to coordinate pursuits. Detectives can investigate chop shops, track parts sales, and build cases against repeat offenders. The heat system means frequent thieves face increased police attention and longer sentences.
Progression and Reputation
New thieves start with access to basic vehicles and standard payouts. Successful heists build experience, unlocking lockpicking upgrades that reduce failure rates and completion times. At higher levels, criminals gain access to exclusive contracts for specific vehicles with bonus payouts, VIN scraping capabilities for legitimizing stolen cars, and better prices at chop shops. Reputation also attracts attention from criminal organizations offering partnership opportunities.
