Players should not be able to use other's personal vehicles.

Exactly, so just steal another car. The tip mentioned above is also useful, and don't forget you can teleport your vehicle back once the car thief gets on foot.

This isn't needed and it would just make the game easier thus less fun.

However, I have experienced other cops steal my car while I'm cuffing/arresting someone and that could do some tweaking. But for civilians/criminals this shouldn't apply.

I agree that it can be annoying to have your vehicle stolen, but hey guess what, the game is called Grand Theft Auto. I'm not going to make it impossible to steal personal vehicles.

That being said, I will perhaps make it much harder to steal them if you lock them behind you. Perhaps instead of hitting enter ~10 times you have to hit it ~30 times or something and it should notify you in chat and on-screen that someone is trying to steal your vehicle? Then you can react to it and stop them?

That'd be cool too,a notifier would make it dope too..

perhaps there could be a lockpicking system similar to hacking the vault at the bank, and also the owners of their vehicles would get notified in the middle of the screen or get a message by system in the chat box

ez,simply go to any garage and spawn a new car, and the person who stole your car is now on foot
