How to unlock the Kleptomaniac achievement in Sleeping Dogs - Definitive Guide
Drive up behind the truck in a vehicle of your choice and hold A. An arrow will appear on the truck. Tap A again when the arrow turns green to perform an action hijack.
Prepare to hit Y if you lose grip while shimmying round to the drivers cab. Your map will be updated to guide you to the garage. Rinse and repeat!
These trucks are marked with an orange icon on top of them and the only way to take them is by action-hijacking them, as they refuse to stop even if you ride in front of them.
Easiest method is using a motorcycle, riding up to 'em, pressing an A and when the arrow turns green - pressing A again.
Do it five times, and the achievement will pop.
The truck you need for this will have an ORANGE MARKER and then you will have to drive up behind the truck and hold then press when the arrow is green to jump onto the truck .
then when you are on the truck go left or right till you get to the truck front door ( you might have to press to regain grip).
then escape chasing cops ( use ram attack ).
when you have evaded the cops you will get directions to the nearest depot and repeat till you have done 5 trucks and you will get the trophy .
At some point in the game you will get a call by Roland Ho. He will ask you to hijack one of the KNOX trucks (blue bank trucks). While driving around you will see these trucks with a yellow arrow pointing down at them. Simply perform and action hijack by holding and getting close behind the vehicle. Then press again when the white arrow turns green. Lose the cops and deliver the truck to the garage. Do this 4 more times and the achievement is yours.
Soon after learning how to perform action hijacks, Jackie will give you a call to notify you that should you find an armored truck at any time, hijack it and bring it to a nearby garage for a small and quick profit. Armored, or Knox trucks, are easy to spot. They have an orange shield icon on top of them, and can be found almost anywhere in the streets driving around. You don't necessary have to perform an action hijack to capture a vehicle, although it is preferred. You can simply drive another vehicle in front of them to force them to a halt, and hijack it in this way. Note that you will automatically enter Heat Level 1 as soon as you're sitting in the driver's seat.
Simply hijack five of these trucks, and bring them safely to the designated garage to earn yourself a small boost to your wallet in addition to the trophy.
