Crime does not need to be grand to be profitable. MetaDen PettyCrimes adds a broad set of low-stakes street crimes for FiveM servers, covering parking meters, coin-fed machines, mailboxes, shoplifting, traffic signs, and vehicle vandalism. The resource uses persistent world-state tracking, configurable skill checks, configurable loot tables, and optional crime XP progression through metaden-skills.
Features
- Parking meter interactions — pay parking with coins, check whether a meter is already paid, or steal the coins inside with a crowbar.
- Coin-fed machine theft — steal coins from parking meters, payphones, newspaper dispensers, and train ticket machines using configurable success chances.
- Shoplifting targets — steal clothes, hats, glasses, fruit, convenience-store items, and liquor from configured prop models and liquor-store zones.
- Mailbox theft — break into post boxes, steal letters, and route letter rewards into configurable junk or cash drops.
- Traffic sign theft — steal supported road signs with an angle grinder and receive the matching item reward.
- Vehicle vandalism — slash tires, smash vehicle windows, and cut brake lines through third-eye vehicle options.
- NPC consequence system — nearby peds either flee or attack after a crime, with configurable aggro radius and optional random melee weapons.
- Skill checks per crime type — parking meters, shoplifting, mailbox theft, traffic sign theft, and brake-line cutting each use dedicated difficulty presets.
- Persistent location state — robbery, breakage, payment, and coin-storage data are stored per world location in SQL using deterministic location keys.
- Automatic cooldown recovery — robbed or broken locations become usable again after Config.StealCooldown; paid parking expires using configurable durations.
- Crime XP integration — successful crimes can award 1 point of crime XP through metaden-skills when that resource is running.
- Bridge-based integration — framework access, inventory actions, notifications, progress bars, metadata display, and target registration are routed through metabridge.
