Preview dossier: GTA 6 car theft needs scans, witnesses, and trust costs

A circulating mechanics dossier from international creator previews (El País, Famitsu, TGG, Rubius) reframes Vice City around prep, police memory, and trust fallout. Stealing a sports car on Ocean Drive is no longer sold as a single button tap.

Unverified international creator dossier; not an official Rockstar checklist

WAINK-gated boosts

Boosting civilian rides reportedly means scouting through WAINK for GPS trackers, perimeter alarms, and ignition friction. Witnesses and hollow-star wanted states keep heat alive after you leave the camera's first chase.

Famitsu and Spanish-language preview write-ups keep returning to the same player fantasy killer: you cannot treat every curb car as an immortal escape hatch. That is a bigger tonal shift than any single HUD icon, even if the exact 150-point count is dossier hype instead of a Rockstar spreadsheet.

Companion trust bites back

The same packet ties failed jobs and reckless fire to colder partner AI. Romance chatter is secondary; the gameplay claim is that trust changes cover and getaway help. Rockstar still needs to confirm how much of the 150-point list survives day one.
