This system draws inspiration from real fencing operations — where criminals must find specialized buyers for specific stolen goods while avoiding law enforcement attention!
Can you lose stolen goods if you get arrested in GTA 6?
Yes — getting arrested while carrying stolen goods results in losing them permanently. Store items in safe houses or deliver to fences before police encounters!
Do different fence buyers pay significantly different prices?
Absolutely! Luxury fences pay up to 1.5x for jewelry and art, while general fences offer base prices. Matching your stolen goods to the right buyer is essential for maximum profit!
