So over the last couple weeks my crew have had 4 cars disappear. We feel certain that the one was stolen so we can call it 3 possible and out of the three 2 were located together and disappeared at the same time and the 3rd was lost just last night within the last 6 hours. Now we suspected theft of a total of 3 but one one looked like theft. The 2 that were together were also by 2 military tents that we keep our spoils at. Nothing was touched. Now last night is the one I'd like to focus on since i have the most information readily available. I can tell you the car had ran over quite a few zombies. It had 2 ruined front tires. the rear tires were good and were pulled before logging off last night, The battery and spark plug were also pulled. the trunk contained 2 car batteries, a radiator, a hacksaw, 5 (or 4) burlap strips, 2 ADA tires, and 2 jerry cans, one with water and the other with gas. There may be an item not on the list but i have not check footage to confirm. Upon getting on today i found the car missing. Given the placement and the extremely low player count i find it unlikely the car was found and then supplies found for said car and taken. Mostly because we spent hours last night looking every single shed, and i mean every one, within a 2.5km radius of where the car was kept in and attempt to find an olga tire to get a different car running. We are meticulous about this and are often mistaken as duppers because we will spend 2 entire nights traversing half of the map just to get the exact clothing, weaponry, and supplies we like to carry with us. I can give exact coordinates of the car location and the server name if there is a private way to contact each other. Overall I'm not looking for a replacement or asking the impossible, I merely and seeking information. Is there something we stripped from the car or did to the car that would cause it to despawn on restart? I was under the impression that since it was not a destroyed car and was interacted with that it would remain there through restart. Or do all cars that have been running now disappear on restart?
