This mission is only available at night, between 20:00-6:00 (8 PM to 6 AM) game time, around 15 minutes real time. Therefore it is advisable to get to the truck as close to 20:00 as possible or even a bit before it. CJ can get into the truck early, but the indicator stating a mission can be activated will only appear when the clock hits 20:00.
 
Press the Special button (R3 on PS2, Tab on PC) to activate a Burglary mission.

Pick up an item (Triangle on the PS2) and head out the door and back to the Boxville. 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. With practise it is also possible to drop items ''through'' the sides of the rear of the truck to make parking easier and the trips back and forth shorter.

An alternate option is to rush for the door heedless of the noise level, as exiting will make the noise bar empty and the owners (if roused) go back to bed. CJ can then re-enter and continue as before.
