Mission walkthrough

  1. Intercept the tow truck

    Locate the marked car being towed and stop the truck carrying it. Scare its driver away without destroying the vehicle you need to recover. Keep enough room beside the truck for the release interaction.

  2. Recover the target car

    Approach the side of the truck and follow the game’s unloading prompt. Enter the released car. A random stolen vehicle will not satisfy the framing objective, even if it looks similar.

  3. Attract police attention

    Use the target car to raise the wanted level to the required two stars. Watch the display rather than continuing to escalate indefinitely. Preserve the vehicle so it can still reach the police-station drop-off.

  4. Leave it at the station

    Take the car to the indicated location outside the station and complete the parking or exit instruction. Avoid switching vehicles or clearing the required police attention before the objective tells you to finish.

Key point

The specific recovered car is the evidence. Keep using it through the wanted-level stage and the final drop-off.
