Dismantling unattended vehicles from outside

Recently a thief stole a huge quantity of stuff and a vehicle from a town one of my characters resides in. They filled the vehicle with so much stuff that nobody could enter it other than them, and allowed us to kill them. I've been unable to access the vehicle to retrieve the stolen goods, and my character has suffered much because of that game mechanic.
If, however, one could take apart a vehicle with the proper tools, it could make it possible to retrieve objects from filled vehicles and prevent such excruciating events from happening. The stuff inside the vehicle could fall to the ground like it does when someone dies, perhaps with some of the base materials the vehicle is made from.
This would be a useful ability for people to have in many different situations, and would provide a nice role-playing angle to a less law-abiding character (salvaging the vehicles of your now deceased enemies)
Of course, you wouldn't want this to be possible while there is a person inside the vehicle, but the ability to dismantle vehicles would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.

OR, you could report the vehicle in the corpse vehicle thread. That way PD can just move the dead man outside for you.

Nobody ever reads the forums.

Hey, I didn't think that there was a thread, and once I knew it existed I found it without any trouble. I'm sorry if that makes me stupid or something -_-

This system is of course just a temporary solution and we hope to install a system that allows a player to unblock a vehicle theirself in another six or seven years. :wink:

yup being able to pull people out of a room/vehicle is a repeated suggestion, that will be implemented in year 2525.

Have you tried to drop all your stuff then enter to drag some resource off to then be able to have someone else come in and help you drag the bodies?
