As taken from a possemate's reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/vpp0x/accidental_vehicle_location_map_us_29_atlanta_5/ Here's what happened(edited for easier interpretation): "A few buddies and I were playing on US 29 Atlanta 5. We were driving an offroad truck towards a gas station to refuel and hide it for the night when I noticed a Toyota pickup and a truck (Ural) right next to a refuel location. My buddies drove these two newly acquired vehicles, while I drove the offroad. We decided to drive off and hide it in a secluded part of the map. Soon later, one of my buddies opened up the in-game map and found that the map was displaying green dots to mark the CURRENT locations of every single vehicle in the server(look further down for image link). All of us who had maps opened up the map to confirm this and we all could see the vehicle locations on the map. I was worried because it was displaying the vehicle we had on the map as well. We noticed it updated the vehicles location on the map every time we got out of the vehicle. We informed the admin on his Teamspeak at 74.91.112.220. He restarted the server a few minutes after, and the map glitch seemed to go away. However, after we decided to hide the vehicles in a remote location spread out from each other, a group of 2+ managed to kill our buddy guarding the vehicles, and steal all three of our vehicles. To ensure there was no save glitch, we looked around and logged in and out, until we were 100% sure that all the vehicles were gone. (Note this was in a very remote region of the map.) We discussed it amongst each other and believed it might have been due to that 2+ group using the map to find the locations of the vehicles and to steal them from us." Very disheartening indeed. The strange thing about this was what happened this morning: we discovered that someone had stolen our Land Rover from a very remote region of the map on the SAME server. We do not know for sure whether this was just a glitch on the server's part or was due to people using exploits to find the locations of our vehicles. Here is the image of the DayZ In-Game Map that showed all the CURRENT locations of every single vehicle, which led to our vehicles being taken from us 15 minutes after we tried to hide them: http://i.imgur.com/YY5Hj.jpg Anyway, we would like to hear from fellow DayZ players about whether they have experienced something similar to this. Also, we would like to warn others that there is a POSSIBILITY exploiters can use this map to find vehicles and steal them.
