- [April 25, 2019] New Simeon Yetarian Premium Deluxe Repo Work assignments have been added to GTA Online:
- Under the Hammer
- Simeon's received word that the La Mesa Police are hosting an auction of illicitly-acquired vehicles. They're already hot, so stealing them again is probably a victimless crime, right? Boost the vehicles for your favorite Armenian auto dealer and receive a handsome reward for your efforts.
- Blow Up IV
- There's a rival trader in town undercutting Simeon's prices. But Mr. Yetarian always has an Ace up his sleeve - this particular Ace works at the competition's warehouse and has "forgotten" to lock up for the evening. Head over to where the cars are stashed and convert them into junk metal for a tidy sum.
- Sasquashed
- There's an Arena War show happening outside the Maze Bank Arena. Simeon needs you to steal those monster trucks for him, then pay a visit to a couple of old friends.
- GTA Today II
- Simeon has a client with a very specific wish list - but he can only leave international waters for so long. At short notice, he requires a skilled team to resort to some assertive repossession techniques. Repo high-end vehicles around Los Santos and deliver them to the docks before the client ships out.
- Do You Even Lift?
- During a recent stroll through Rockford Hills, Simeon spotted some very beautiful cars outside some very empty second mansions. An unscrupulous person could airlift them right out without triggering the alarm. Acquire a Cargobob and rescue these poor vehicles from a lifetime of neglect.
- RV Nearly There?
- When a limited edition MTL Brickade RV goes missing during transit to Los Santos, Simeon hears about it. And when a filthy little tin can dealership in Sandy Shores mysteriously acquires just such an RV, he hears about that too. Go there and acquire this beautiful vehicle by any means necessary.
- Burn Rate
- Thanks to the petty vindictiveness of his competition, Simeon's latest shipment is going up in smoke. In order to avoid any unwanted attention from the authorities he's not calling 911 - he's calling you. Acquire yourself a fire truck and extinguish the fires as well as any lingering arsonists.
- Simeonomics
- A local international businessman is selling some luxury cars to a foreign buyer -- off the books, of course. The cars are set to leave town in the back of a privately chartered cargo plane. That's where you come in: intercept the shipment at LSIA, escape from the cops, get the vehicles to a safe location. Simeon will handle the rest.
