    Take your vehicle to Los Santos Custom and fully customize it. The original price of the vehicle must be under 50,000! Once you finish the upgrade, leave the LS custom. After that, go back to LS Custom, and SELL your vehicle. As soon as it says Sold, pause the game and Swap Character. Respawn your character and the vehicle will be around the area where you respawned.

  • Hidden treasure box (changed after the patch!)
    In the north-west area on the map, in the Pacific ocean, you will find a treasure box with $12000 with weapons near a crashed plane. At first it will be hard to spot the treasure box, but, it becomes brighter as you approach it. Also, before you dive with full lung capacity, save the game in case you drawn. After collecting the money, just switch the characters for a few seconds, and the treasure box will respawn. You can repeat this action as many times as you wish, and with all characters. If you set a mark on the map where you want to go and switch the characters, while you are playing one character, the other one will drive to your marked location.
  • Rob Different Shops
    Take the money from cash counter from Jewellery Stores or Supermarkets. Some of the shops have two cash counters, and you’ll have to shoot or destroy (with baseball bat) them, in order to get the money.

    Tips & Tricks for shop robberies
    • If you enter a store without a clerk, you can rob it, and the wanted level will not raise after the robbery
    • If you switch to another character after the robbery, and quickly return to the first one, the cash counters will be full again
    • After breaking cash counters, you will hear a crash sound, and money bags will fall down on the ground. If you exit a shop, and wait a few seconds, you will hear crash sound again, and you’ll be able to collect money bags again. You can repeat it as many times as you want. The best shops for this trick are the ones without cleric.


    You can use cheat code to Lower Wanted Level after the robbery:
    XBOX – RB RB B RT Right Left Right Left Right Left,
    PS3 – R1, R1, O, R2, ▶, ◀,▶, ◀,▶, ◀
