At approximately 8:00 PM I was walking around Napoli and the fenced off area where shipments spawn I saw a crowd of people gathering around a cocaine shipment that had around 300 seconds left. The people gathering (around 4-5 members) had chairs and one was sitting on top of the shipment. I was still on my RP char and I asked the people to stop camping the shipment. I stayed around and watched them to see who would grab it so I could make a note to online staff. Once the shipment had gotten around 100-50 seconds (8:04) Drive Fast a fellow moderator had appeared on his staff char and I told him the situation. He also had asked everyone to move and stop camping the shipment. Once the timer had hit zero everyone was crouched around it and someone had grabbed it. Once I saw this I also switched to my staff char since I wasn't in roleplay, I then quickly referred to the logs and I saw that 8:05 a cocaine shipment was picked up by Lucas Hanover. Once I saw who picked it up I asked Drive Fast how long the ban should be since we did give everyone around the area significant warning before hand. He recommended 12H (hours). I followed through with it and issued the ban.
I was unable to visually confirm if Lucas had ran up or was there due to how many people there was. I would also like to point that Lucas had said in his post that he was there before the timer reached zero. (I believe he said around 30S). There is no outline for shipment theft in the rules. And my interoperation was that for a shipment to be stolen you must stumble upon it by chance and the timer must be at zero. I hope to see an update to the rules that better specify what is camping and what is not.
