Stevie's Car Thefts is available after the player has opened up the [[Alderney City Safehouse|Alderney Safehouse]] and completed [[Smackdown (GTA IV)|Smackdown]] and [[No. 1]]. [[Niko Bellic]] will first receive a call from Brucie and, shortly afterwards, a text message from [[Brucie Kibbutz|Brucie's]] friend [[Stevie]]. He needs some cars (30 total) that Niko will need to find across [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] and deliver to [[S&M Auto Sales]]. It is similar to Brucie's [[Exotic Exports]] (email cars), except here the cars are parked and are not indicated on the map, and are never guarded by the owner. In addition, Stevie pays much more for these cars when they're in good condition than Brucie does. Just like stealing any car, if [[Police|police]] witness a car theft, the player receives a one star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]]. Occasionally the cars have alarms. | Stevie's Car Thefts is available after the player has opened up the [[Alderney City Safehouse|Alderney Safehouse]] and completed [[Smackdown (GTA IV)|Smackdown]] and [[No. 1]].

If the player finds the right vehicle, the game shows a message saying: "You've found the vehicle Stevie is looking for." The player then needs to drive the car to Stevie's [[S&M Auto Sales|garage]] in [[Bohan]]. The condition of the vehicle determines how much money Niko receives. Taking the car to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] helps increase its value if the car is damaged. However, as there are no Pay 'n' Sprays in [[Bohan]], it is difficult to reach the garage without damage.

The player then needs to drive the car to Stevie's [[S&M Auto Sales|garage]] in [[Bohan]]; no message is given about this destination in-game but the garage appears on the map so it may be manually entered into the GPS.

Another way of repairing the vehicle is by parking the requested car in the "RESIDENTS PARKING" space next to the [[South Bohan Safehouse]] then driving or running a block or two before returning. | ||
If a player wishes to complete these thefts quickly, it is recommended either that they save the game repeatedly at the nearby [[safehouse]] in [[Bohan]], or repeatedly use a Pay 'n' Spray until they receive a text. These methods advance the time, which means Stevie will send a text in a matter of minutes after delivering a vehicle, instead of hours. The player can view the amount of vehicles stolen under "Cars Sold to Stevie" in the Score section of the Stats in the pause menu. | If a player wishes to complete these thefts quickly, it is recommended either that they save the game repeatedly at the nearby [[safehouse]] in [[Bohan]], or repeatedly use a Pay 'n' Spray until they receive a text.
