Anti-Theft Measures

About this mod

• Vehicle security system appears as a hacking minigame when V enters the driver seat; one attempt only.
• Alarm triggers continuous siren and flashing headlights; NPCs react.
• Brake lock reduces traction with bumps; fails after a short while, common in low‑income vehicles.
• Automatic tire deflation to deter theft.
• Explosive rigging with instant or delayed detonation modes.
• NCPD notification (reserved for higher‑income owners).
• Private security detail with three response levels for premium vehicles.
• Counter‑hack transfers a random amount of eddies to the vehicle owner (premium vehicles).
