Your GTA 5 vehicles could vanish forever, as new bug deletes insurance

GTA 5 vehicles are at risk of disappearing forever, as a new bug in the Rockstar sandbox game’s latest update reportedly deletes your insurance policies, meaning that if a purchased vehicle is destroyed, it is gone – permanently. The San Andreas Mercenaries update arrived for GTA 5 on June 13, removing some 195 cars from Grand Theft Auto Online’s normal vehicle repository, while also introducing a glitch that could delete vehicles if they were stored in certain garages. Now, as we await the GTA 6 release date, it may be wise to keep your most expensive purchases off the streets of Los Santos.

Normally in Grand Theft Auto 5, if you buy vehicles from Los Santos Customs, you can insure them for a small amount of in-game cash. Alternatively, cars purchased from the in-game internet come with insurance automatically. If for any reason your vehicle gets destroyed, so long as it’s insured, you can recover it for another small in-game fee.

Now, however, there are multiple reports of a new bug in the San Andreas Mercenaries update, which deletes players’ insurance policies, rendering purchased vehicles unrecoverable.

In a variety of cases, players report losing their MK2 Oppressors, which cost 8 million in-game dollars. A purchasable Shark Card, gifting a GTA 5 player with 10 million in-game dollars, costs $99.99 (£59.99) in real money, although in-game cash can be earned in a variety of other ways.

Elsewhere, players report losing their Kreiger supercar and their Ruiner sports car purchased from Simeon during the earlier days of GTA Online.

“I literally lost my MK2 out of nowhere,” one player writes, in a lengthy thread warning about the bug. “I thought you guys were joking. This is real and real ridiculous.”
