They are storing data in the clear in memory and as you say it's just too easy to change that data if you know what you are doing. However, if the character.dat file wasn't encrypted then it would be hacked by everyone. As it is, it's not very secure in it's current format. They clearly have a bug in the code that writes that file and as we have no idea what is causing cars to disappear it will be nearly impossible for them to debug it.

Since starting back, I keep the game synced on iPad and iPhone, if I do not see any problems. If I make a mistake, or if I were to see a problem, such as losing a car, I could cloud save from the device that is still intact and try a restore to the device that is corrupted.

To be honest though, other than the Servo issue, I have not seen any of the to problems with disappearing cars, upgrades, or asset downloads. Maybe I've been lucky, but it sounds like there has to be something that people are doing differently that no one is willing to admit to.
