### Parameters

| Name          | Data Type | Description                  |
| ------------- | --------- | ---------------------------- |
| `plate`       | string    | The vehicle license plate    |
| `compartment` | string    | Either "trunk" or "glovebox" |

### Return value

| Name          | Data Type     | Description                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `inventoryId` | string \| nil | The full inventory ID (format: `"vehicle:plate:model:compartment"`), nil if vehicle not found |

### Notes

Searches in this order:

1. Owned vehicles database (ESX: `owned_vehicles`, QBCore: `player_vehicles`)
2. Existing inventories in the `jaksam_inventory` table
3. Currently spawned vehicles (`GetAllVehicles` - NPC vehicles)

For owned vehicles, automatically creates inventory if it doesn't exist. Created inventories are persistent for owned vehicles, temporary for NPC vehicles. Works even if the vehicle is not currently spawned (garage).
