Shop Robberies ( more for owners )

[T6Hey]

Can the cooldown on shop robberies get looked at please, shop owners in the quieter locations like myself get targeted more for obvious reasons, Since Monday my shop has been robbed 13 time's which has cost me 130k
( 65k Per till ) in that small window, I don't even turnover 130k in a month I just don't see the balance.


Suggestion 1 - Reduce cost from 5k to 1k to fix tills

Suggestion 2 - Only allow 1 robbery per shop per storm

Suggestion 3 - Unsure on cooldown time but say its 1hr make it 6 hrs?


Pros - Will stop people targeting the same shops and could create more RP avenues as they need to target places closer into the city ( as police and G6 its usually the same shops over and over again )


Neg - Dev work
RP Robbers wont like a couple of these suggestions

I don't know how the police works in terms of departments - but I've had a lot of run in's with the "Rural Police something or other" lately who tend to respond to Sandy/Grapeseed/Paleto pretty swiftly, which has been great to see.

Is it a case of you have to get permission as a police officer to police outside of the city area - or is it a case of some people just don't want to? As if it is the latter, I would say thats a RP issue and should be taken up in character with the police themselves.

When there is not realistically enough police of G6 around to man the demand of shop robberies, I believe a fix should either be free, or people are simply not able to rob the tills - I also agree with overall reducing the cost of the fix when they are about, £1000 seems reasonable.

To add to @Samuel Shire's suggestion with radius's and what not - why not just have the front doors of the store go into a 'lockdown' for a set amount of time? Forcing people to be inside the shop, giving them no option than to commit. Lockdown should end after say 300 seconds* and if the police have turned up - you face the music, if they haven't you're quids in.


* Could this be an upgrade shop owners could buy? Making their lockdown bigger by purchasing a better security system?

I'll take the automated ceiling mounted turrets upgrade for £1m
