Disappearing Vehicles

So is this still a problem Nowadays Or can i leave my Bicycle Out so i can loot

Personally I've had no problems leaving my vehicles outside next to the building I'm looting and then just putting thing in it as I need the room.

I believe if you leave it laying about then move far enough away from it (as in, far enough it no longer renders) then there's a chance it may despawn. I have never tested this however.

I do know what if you leave it in a storage box of some sort it will not despawn no matter the distance.

Never leave veh surrounded by blocks.

I've never had one despawn. I've had them jump around some and one time my motorcycle jumped around enough in it's small garage to take out a loot box. I also once flew my gyrocopter to a second base and when I returned to the first base the gyro was waiting for me. Guess it didn't like being left alone.

I haven't had one disappear since A16.4. Other people have reported vehicle issues between save-and-loads though. I think they are rare but not gone.

I have multiples of all vehicle types crafted and sitting around my base, and the only vehicle I've had a glitch with in 19.x is the gyro. I've loaded my game and found the tail portion of my gyro partially embedded in the ground, and the nose in the air. But all I have to do for that case is pick it up into my inventory and re-place it.

It's been a long while since I've seen the vehicle disappearing thing. I play on a private server with friends, we have 3 bicycles laying around our base, 3 motorcycles, and 3 gyrocopters now. Nothing has disappeared, even if somebody is out ranging in a distant biome with their vehicle, logs out and logs back in. However, that could just be a side effect of using a server that is persistent - could be the physical save/load function is what is causing the disappearances?

I do recall that previously (late A18 or early A19, can't recall what build it was) that occasionally a vehicle would just disappear, and then you'd be wandering around and find the vehicle (with all stuff still in it) back at a previous place you had left it. Baffling. Then, you'd get that vehicle back to base, keep playing, maybe pass by the place that it disappeared from the first time, and there's your vehicle - complete with all the stuff still in it (again). It was a very odd duplication bug, and it was so weird because the vehicles disappeared but were obviously still in the game save somewhere, only to reappear later.
