# Impound System

zloma\_garages includes three types of impound systems, each serving different purposes.

***

## Personal Impound

Handles destroyed or lost vehicles. The default "catch-all" impound.

**When vehicles go here:**

* Vehicle destroyed in the world
* Server restart with `Config.VehicleTracking.restartImpound = true`
* Max persistent respawn attempts reached (if `impoundOnMaxAttempts = true`)
* Vehicle orphaned without a garage

**Retrieval:**

* Player visits the personal impound location
* Selects vehicle from list
* Pays retrieval fee (if configured)
* Vehicle spawns at impound spawn point

**Fees:**

* Each impound can have a configurable retrieval fee
* Fee can be customized via `CalculateImpoundFee()` in `sv_customization.lua`
* Fees go to society accounts if `Config.ImpoundSocietyPayment` is enabled

***

## Organization Impound

Dedicated impound for organization vehicles.

**When vehicles go here:**

* Organization vehicles destroyed or lost
* Manual impound by organization members

**Access:**

* Only members of the relevant organization can retrieve vehicles
* Shared org impound: any org of the same type (job/gang) has access
* Grade restrictions apply

**Features:**

* Separate from personal impound
* Organization boss can manage all impounded vehicles
* Supports grade-based access control

***

## Police Impound

Full-featured police impound with timers, fines, and early release.

**Who can impound:**

* Players with a job listed in `Config.PoliceJobs`
* Must meet minimum grade requirement (configurable per job)
* Uses `/impoundvehicle` command or target option on nearby vehicle

**Impound Process:**

1. Police officer approaches a vehicle
2. Uses `/impoundvehicle` or target option
3. Dialog opens with options:
   * **Duration** — 15 minutes to permanent
   * **Base Fee** — Release fee after duration expires
   * **Early Release Fee** — Additional fee for immediate release
   * **Reason** — Text description of why impounded
4. Vehicle is deleted from world and marked as police impounded
5. Owner is notified

**Duration Options:**

| Duration   | Description             |
| ---------- | ----------------------- |
| 15 minutes | Short hold              |
| 30 minutes | Medium hold             |
| 1 hour     | Standard                |
| 2 hours    | Extended                |
| 6 hours    | Long hold               |
| 12 hours   | Overnight               |
| 24 hours   | Full day                |
| 48 hours   | Weekend                 |
| 72 hours   | Extended weekend        |
| 1 week     | Week-long               |
| Permanent  | Until manually released |

**Retrieval (Owner):**

* Visit police impound location
* If duration expired → pay base fee
* If duration not expired → pay base fee + early release fee
* Timer countdown shown in UI

**Retrieval (Admin):**

* `/retrieveimpounded <plate>` — force retrieves a specific vehicle
* `/retrieveimpounded ALL` — force retrieves all impounded vehicles

**Tracking:**

* `pd_impound_count` tracks how many times a vehicle has been police impounded
* All police impound actions logged to Discord (separate webhook)

**Fee Limits:**

* Maximum fee controlled by `Config.PoliceImpoundMaxFee` (default: 500,000)

**Society Payments:**

* Impound fees distributed to society accounts configured in `Config.ImpoundSocietyPayment`
