Auto Theft

The main reason for stealing cars is money. Car thieves will strip your car for parts, and sell them seperately. The second reason people will steal cars is because of obsession. Most car thieves get a rush and feel on top of the world when they steal cars. The third most common reason is survival. Some people don't have the money to buy a car so they feel the need to steal it, because it's the only option they have. The most common part of a vehicle stolen is airbags. They are the most expensive to replace.
