Scan with WAINK before stealing
The app shows a car's lock, alarm and GPS tracker. Skip anything with a tracker unless you're ready for a chase.
#2 · VehiclesReported
Start with older cars
Slim jims work on older models. Luxury cars need key cloners, and those unlock later in the story.

Your trunk is your armory
Weapons and spare outfits live in your car. Park close before a job.
