Decrease Lock-Pick chance of unlocking vehicles.

It is getting frustrating that every time you leave your personal vehicle infront of a shop or public road house someone is stealing it, lock-picking rate of success should be decreased!

Or lower the income people receive from chopping cars ,it's a full time job that gets people the highest pay when looking at time+effort=pay

-1 ive gone through 6 lockpicks to get a car. Chopping has a high rate of getting you robbed since you are normally just sitting there alone. If a gang has the area then you pay 1/3rd the area. So with 6 lock picks and gang tax I'm looking at probably 300 bucks in 20 minutes.

I think lockpicking should be something you get better/worse at.

You should start out rubbish, but after you lockpick a car so many times you get either a boosted chance of unlocking the car or the time spent locking picking a car gets reduced. If you don't lockpick a car for a while then your proficiency should drop. 

Honestly, I think people should get more money from chopping cars, but chop shops shouldn't be a preset model that moves around, they should have to be built by and maintained by criminals themselves that can be built pretty much anywhere. Rival gangs and the police should be able to destroy chop shops, but in return chop shops yield a better price. Higher risk, higher reward.

I once chopped a car, used 11 lockpicks. (pretty sure I have the clip for proof)

At a point, I was only continuing so I could chop the car to recover the 3300 I wasted on lockpicks.

The car chopped for 3k.

 

There may be a legitimate problem with cars being stolen too often, but lockpick chance is not how it should be solved.

But I do believe that the lockpicking feature should be changed as in a realistic perspective it wouldn't be random to be successful or not. But it would be something skill-based and depending on the lock you're trying to picklock.

I do think something should be done to reduce the chances of stealing cars easily.

Perhaps adding security levels of the vehicle as an upgrade?

Wrote a pretty detailed idea in the following suggestion about changing lock picking and keys.
