Car despawn

Suggestion:-  to help stop car despawn, Add steering wheel locks in game so we can lock them and claim the car as in good condition.

How often do they despawn? Mine has been sat there for about 2+ weeks (I haven't got round to repairing it since I crashed due to lag).

Mine despawned after about 12hrs

I believe its tied to server performance, If the server doesn't crash often or have hard stutter lag often, The car won't move but some car moves like one time an olga flew up in the air out side of our base and landed upside down but one base we had a car was upside down facing the wrong direction for no reason. 

so my belief is its the server performance which impacts the persistence and stuff of the car.

This is always been an issue. I have gone thru the reporting system for this game, but it remains unaddressed. The Olga in particular is buggy during server reset. If parked on uneven ground (for example, you couldn’t place a medium tent in that spot), there is a good chance the vehicle move, flip, or despawn. Essentially the game looks for the nearest location the car can sit. If there is no nearby location, within parameters, the vehicle will despawn. I assume the Olga is most likely to have issues, because it has a larger footprint. 
In light of not receiving any assignment to my report. What I now do is park on a fully paved road, for roaming. At my camp/base, I always use a tent to scout even terrain to park vehicles on. Hope this helps you. Again, it’s been reported, but not addressed.
