Passage 2

Joe works for a large auto-insurance company. He thought it wasn't hurt to leave the key in the truck when he filled his gas tank at a self-service gas

station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States---one every 20 seconds. If current trends continue, experts predict annual (每年

的) vehicle thefts (行窃) could be more than two millions by the end of the decade.

Vehicles theft is a common occurrence, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is surprising.

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume (大量) of thefts. It is a major moneymaker for organized crime. Normally,

stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts are sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled (走私) out of the country every year. Most go to

Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in-depth auto investigations. When thieves are

arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation (缓刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.
