Suggestion Title: Locking/Unlocking cars
Suggestion Description:

Make it so you are able to get in people's vehicles if they are left unlocked.

I believe it used to be like this in the past but people had to actually unlock the car for you to be able to get in, if they got out after driving it would still be locked.

This should also give you org score if you do not have keys to the vehicle.

Why should this be added?:
- Locking and unlocking your car currently has no other use than to just slow you down whenever you want to get back in your car, this would make it so the locking mechanic is actually useful and people would be "punished" for not locking their cars.

What negatives could this have?:
- People stealing cars more often?
- More shootouts

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Locking/Unlocking your vehicle being basically useless
 
this makes sense and i think its a realistic idea that makes the game more fun. You should be careful with an expensive car and take care to lock it.
 
But how will you start it without a key, is this only for passenger or also when you step in the driver side?

You should still somehow use an item to actually start the engine or have a different game function for this. Unless the engine is already on of course

You could also go down the route of a long-ish animation of hot-wiring the car. Around 10-15 seconds to hotwire the car which should obviously make some noise to alert nearby people their car is being stolen. (this would obviously only be for when people leave it unlocked but then it raises issues for regularly stealing cars). Just a quick idea I had for how to make this suggestion viable.
 
IMO this is another example of not everything needs to be realistic.

PERP players are all rats and would just steal cars as soon as you get out without even having a chance to lock

ok then just don't let people get in for like 3 seconds after you step out of your car

Ye and itd get annoying and exploited quick adding a much more hyper realistic feature like this before any other suggestion would be backwards and would just be crappy dev decision.
 
Compromise:

Crowbars unlock the car instantly.
Unlocked upgraded security cars can be lockpicked if owners don't lock them.

This way it stops people instantly jumping into a car someone is exiting, and other issues as highlighted above, It will also give you your XP score without really having to touch that system, and sets off the alarm allowing for a reasonable police response.

Locking your car serves little to no real purpose at the moment. Anyone with any degree of instinct locks their cars anyways, Those who don't should face realistic consequences.
