In the sun-kissed streets of Rockford Hills, a peculiar mission unfolds in GTA 5. Trevor Philips is tasked with infiltrating the estate of celebrity Tyler Dixon to pilfer his clothes, all under the watchful eye of Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill. This stealthy escapade, known as Vinewood Souvenirs – Tyler, requires finesse and strategy to evade detection and secure the coveted garments. Dive into the world of Grand Theft Auto V and uncover the secrets behind this intriguing Strangers & Freaks mission.

Location: This mission becomes available after the completion of the Nigel and Mrs Thornhill. While exploring Los Santos, you may notice the orange circle shown in the above screenshot, which directs you to Tyler Dixon’s estate located in the Rockford Hills district.
The gardener
Drive up to the main gate and locate the place where the wall is lower, to the left of the gate. Climb over the wall there, start sneaking and surprise attack the gardener who is standing near the van parked on the driveway.
Run around the house from the right, now, jump over the two other walls. Eventually, you should reach the spot shown in the screenshot, i.e. near the swimming pool with Tyler and an accompanying woman in it. If you want to complete this mission in 100%, you cannot let yourself be detected. As a result, you need to time the theft of the clothes well. More precisely, it is when Tyler walks out of the pool and starts calculating calories. After you have stolen the clothes, retreat to the point where you have waited for the celebrity’s move and leave the estate (note – if you are spotted by Tyler or, if you kill him, you will have to lose a two-star police pursuit!). You can now contact Nigel.
Rewards for completing the mission: none
Requirements for the completion of the mission in 100%:
- Weed Killer – You need to attack the gardener at Tyler’s estate by surprise.
- Pilferer – You need to steal Tyler’s clothes without being spotted.
