this is the ultimate accomplishment in this game - transfer the people you don't know from cherno to NW airfield, become famous as the most fearless taxi driver!
what else is a car good for, hide it in a wood and hamster up useless stuff you can loot anywhere or to have fun?
True.
You just pinpointed what I think is missing with DayZ : some way to hide maybe one or two items and be able to find them back in your next life.
At the moment people become increasingly cautious as they play and get valuable loot and that can get tedious. In realm of the mad god (permadeaht too), you can put items in a safe for your next life, but you can only do it while you are alive. The items you die with can not be retreived, so it's a tradeoff between now and the next life.
