Suggestion Title: Government Props Automatically Despawn
Suggestion Description: Automatically despawn government props when a variable is met (e.g. the player dies, the player respawns, the player is no longer within X units of the props, etc.)

Why should this be added?:
- Far too often, government props are left on the road causing blockades and occasionally even causing poor sweater's mini coppers to be stuck on top of them.

What negatives could this have?:
- If this is implemented using the correct variable, there is no negative.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: This solves the aforementioned blockades full of prop slop from dead police, etc.
 
Better yet revert the weight changes made to equipment, no way a silly little cone should make a car come to a full stop.
But then again, otherwise they feel like bowling pins with no consequences to hitting them.
 
Possibly take a small chunk of the weight of? Feel this maybe realism v practical use case that some adjustments could be made
 
Your right, there's definitely a problem with random barricades around town and it gets annoying but I don't think despawning them after death would make sense. It already gives us a pop up like 5ish mins after asking for 'do you want to remove the props' on that side menu. That and supervisors staying on top of it idk if its worth the dev time.
 
The system can be improved, for sure. I will look into making it a bit smarter in the future.

I don't want to make it so that when someone dies or quits their barricades go away immediately, but I could increase the nagging to nudge them into saying 'Yes' to remove if they're not around, and also periodically check if they make sense where placed (lone cone in the middle of the highway without anything/anyone else around? probably safe to remove) However, situations such as the sheer desolation of a PD wipe scene post-shootout with fallen over barricades all over the place is something that I'd be sad to see gone and will try to keep.

Another thing that needs fixing is that barricades tend to not disappear when the person who placed them quits.

For the record, only some barricades have extra weight. The regular cones aren't bulked up. There are no plans to remove the extra mass mechanic.

Regarding the Mini Cooper stuck situation, we've considered adding a way to push cars without prop-pushing, so maybe in the future it won't be a problem.
