The vanishing car glitch first appeared with the ability to save vehicles in ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]''. Although it can occur at both the [[Staunton Island Hideout]] and the [[Shoreside Vale Hideout]], it is more common at the former, as the large size of the garage easily allows the player to ''cram the garage'', an exploit which allows more than the designated two vehicles to fit in the garage. When the garage is crammed, the vehicles inside may arbitrarily vanish during a game save. The glitch can be avoided by opening the garage door before saving the game, loading the vehicles inside into the game memory.

Due to the open nature of parking spaces in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', it is easier to attempt to save more than two cars at each of the [[Safehouses in GTA IV|safehouses]]; as such, the glitch is easier to trigger and is therefore more prevalent. Although parking more than the maximum number of vehicles in the parking spaces is possible, the vehicles may arbitrarily vanish, leaving only two (or less) behind. Unlike in ''GTA III'', having the vehicles in memory does not guarantee they will be saved, and the vehicles may also disappear at other times during gameplay.
