Street-level mailbox robbery activity with minigame lockpicking and randomized loot — ox_lib based
Every criminal career needs a bottom rung, and mailbox robbery is a perfect one: petty, plentiful and just risky enough to matter. This script turns the thousands of mailboxes scattered across the map into small crime opportunities — pick the lock, grab what is inside and move along before a neighbor calls it in.
How a mailbox robbery plays out
- Target any configured mailbox on the map and start the job through a clean ox_lib interaction.
- A lockpicking minigame gates the score — steady hands open boxes, clumsy ones break picks.
- Loot is randomized: cash envelopes, sellable goods, the occasional surprise and plenty of junk mail.
- Cooldowns per mailbox keep crews moving through neighborhoods instead of farming one corner.
Risk tuned for the street level
- Configurable police alert chances mean every box is a small gamble.
- Low individual payouts with volume potential — exactly the economics that keep petty crime petty.
- Item requirements (lockpicks) tie the loop into your shops and criminal suppliers.
Why small crime matters
- New criminal characters get a believable first hustle that teaches your city's crime systems safely.
- Police get routine calls that keep patrols busy between the big scenes.
- Neighborhood crime waves become an actual story: someone is hitting boxes on Grove Street again.
