Vehicles reset each restart and tents don't save items on 1.7.2.5, most of the time. Did it just respawn on the island or did you actually move it somewhere and it's location has saved just damaged?

Trust me, saving the chopper doesn't do a damn thing anymore. I lost 4 of them. Only *surefire* way to *save* it is to blow the damn thing up and wait for the restart. In my limited experiences with them, they respawn full green, either out of gas or the gas you left in it. Items left in it are sometimes there, sometimes not.

I'm not trolling, I'm being serious. 3 times I found one at Skalsity, 3 times it despawned. On the 3rd ownership, my buddy was drunk-flying and crashed it; Full green on server restart in the place it blew up. Next restart it was gone.

The other time was when we were repairing it at NE airfield, almost had it fixed (had saved it), and server restarted. Poof.
