Don't quote me on this but I do recall reading something the devs stated just after the release of the vehicles concerning this matter. If you were here when vehicles were first published you'll recall that the vehicles wouldn't store at all. The massive parking lots were cleared by an auto-store feature once the player left the planet. At the time, it was my understanding that the vehicles were not supposed to auto-store while players were in proximity of the vehicle. I have personally witnessed this on many frustrating occassions. It was stated that part of the problem was a server lag issue that read a previous or old "store" command given to the vehicle and proceeded with the command at a later time. Yes it is annoying to be in combat and to find that your vehicle is gone when you get back, but just after the vehicle publish we would be riding them and they'd disappear. I recall flying over some water only to be "auto-stored" right into the drink. If you go to the unpopulated challenge planets (Yavin-4, Endor, Dathomir) you'll find that it is very rare that vehicles auto-store (I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, just that it is rare).
