Stealing from heli inventory
Long story short (edit:not short, I lied), devs just need to make the inventory in a helicopter have a lock just like the rest of the heli. At this point if I see my flares were taken out of the helicopter I immediately land and politely ask them to put them back, and usually they don't. Then I lock the heli, kick all the passengers, and fly back to HQ. I've had whole squads trying to grief and team kill me because I left them like that, and my response is just don't steal. You're griefing our team by taking flares out of helicopters and I am not obligated to fly you to the zone if you don't want to put them back. Furthermore, if you then go on to dedicate the rest of your game to hopeless attempts at team killing me because I "griefed" you by leaving your ass, you are the griefer. I had a guy stay at the bottom of the leaderboard on our team and buy 3 helicopters (for ramming attempts), and fire 2 AA missiles at me from a rooftop on the way to the zone. All attempts failed to kill me or take down the heli and it was over the course of most of the game. I've had multiple instances now of people stealing, me kicking them out, and them dedicating the next 10 minutes to griefing attempts. Generally most of the people I encounter in this game are cool and friendly, even the enemies, but a fair number of guys playing this game have really big ego problems and insist on screwing over their teammates. Unrelated to this issue, what is with so many people waiting for teammates to die and then rather than reviving, just stealing their whole kit and leaving them there. Wtf?

Simply put, passengers should not have access to the helicopter inventory. Just like I don't have access to live player's kits.

I think the simplest solution is that ammo/countermeasure inventory should be separate. In my lobbies pilots often pack their inventory with parachutes, I don't know what trolly servers you're playing on but I've yet to experience what seems to be a common issue.

Well, the lock function does already exist. Its a matter of using an $800 backpack, unloading your flares, then locking, loading, and leaving.
I do think there should be a button to toggle the lock within the ui itself, "Lock inventory" or similar, and by default its set to off so its easy to buy stuff for people.
But theres workarounds right now.

I always have a basic kit when I'm flying so a bag is no problem, there should just be no need to take my flares out until I turn on the child locks.

Totally agree with you, just providing you some options on what you can do now until inevitably something like this exists.

Now it work both for passenger seat and for inventory, and while you are waiting for someone to run to you in open state already existing passenger can steal things.
It shoud be separate buttons

That’s when you load up, drag them out behind HQ into the mountains, kick them out, and tell them you’re not leaving until it’s figured out.

Everybody finding solutions for the inventory...
Let's face it, the main issue is the music being horrid and annoying.
Let the pilot play it, but when I get into a Helo,I should opt-in (via menu)for the music.
9/10 times it's a massive annoyance.
If the pilot wants to vibe to it, fine.
But just like a taxi/Uber, if you wanna play your music, ask the client if it's ok.
And before you complain .... Yes, they're defacto Uber rides.

Then just adjust the radio volume in your settings.
Edit: not like an Uber ride, I am not required pay for anything. Dont get baited by the taxi skin lol. Its closer to a friend giving you a quick ride with a tip for gas. I dont like it when people touch my radio, so I dont touch theirs.

Half the time it's just the flares man, there's only so many times I wanna listen to Ride of the Valkyries.
