kidnapping as a side hustle, hear me out

So we all know money is going to be a big deal in GTA 6. Rockstar already said you'll need to do side stuff to progress the story, not just main missions. The obvious ones are robbing stores and boosting cars. I'm also guessing races and pool betting will be in there, like previous games.

But the whole bodies in trunks mechanic from the trailers got me thinking. What if there's a kidnapping side activity? Like a contact gives you a target, an NPC you have to grab alive and hold for ransom. Could be in a public spot where you instantly get a wanted level the second you snatch them, so you have to lose the cops. Or maybe you can get creative and grab them without anyone noticing. Imagine VIP targets where you have to fight through bodyguards first.

Then after you have them, you either hold them for a set amount of time or drop them off somewhere and get your cut. Seems like it would create endless unique scenarios, especially with the wanted system and the different locations across Leonida.

I know GTA has had kidnapping in missions before, but as a repeatable side activity it could be really fun. What do you all think, would this fit the vibe of GTA 6 or is it too dark?
