FAQ

Does owning a vehicle automatically recreate a deleted key?
No, not with the default strict physical-key settings. The player must recover or be explicitly issued a new key.
Can I use the resource without Nord Inventory?
Yes for generic access/item checks through supported bridges. The complete physical 
vehicle_key metadata workflow is native to Nord Inventory; a custom inventory can implement the provided physical-key hooks.
Can a player recover a key for a vehicle they do not own?
No. Recovery validates ownership server-side before issuing the key.
Do stolen keys stay forever?
No. They are designed to expire when the player leaves the stolen vehicle and also have a safety timeout.
Can a garage or dealership give keys?
Yes. Use the trusted server export:
exports.nord_vehiclekeys:GiveKeys(source, plate)
Can I replace notifications or Text UI without editing the core?
Yes. Select 
custom in 
config/bridges.lua and edit only the matching bridge file.
Is the recovery NPC placement persistent?
Yes. NPC definitions and coordinates are stored in the database.
