Face the rear door of the Boxville and press the button again, and the item should be deposited within along with a confirmation message. If CJ drops it on the ground just pick it up again, readjust his position in relation to the back of the truck, and try again.

Return to the lockup in the Boxville before 11:00am. You have five minutes real-time (5 hours game-time) after 6:00am to get the truck back to the lockup, so you can steal right up to 6:00 am. Even if you have "item" in your hands, you can still drop it off. Otherwise after the five minutes any goods still inside the truck will be lost forever. | Return to the lockup in the Boxville before 11:00am.
