Stealing a car can have big consequences. How common is car theft, and how do thieves usually accomplish the task?
<|assistant|>
Car theft is quite common, especially in densely populated areas. Thieves usually enter an abandoned or unattended car and hotwire it, or if they’re able to, they might break into the locked car and gain access to the ignition. Other times, they might use force to break in and then steal the car outright. Most cars also come equipped with an alarm system, meaning thieves might have to disable the system before they can steal the car. Finally, in some cases, thieves might “laundry” steal cars, where they steal the cars, drive them for a short period of time, and then ditch the car in another location.
