I know many of you are the proud owners of your first motor vehicle and this evening I want to talk to you about some of the things you can do to make sure your car or motorbike isn’t stolen. I’ll start with a few facts and figures to put you in the picture, Car theft is a widespread problem. In this country alone, one car is stolen every 32 seconds. That means a million cars are stolen each year. And of those, 40% are never recovered. Don’t think your car might be a bit old and in bad condition which looks like no one will steal it. Any car can be stolen anywhere.
Most thefts occur in residential areas, often from the front of the house. Some areas that are especially dangerous are shopping centers and parking lots, particularly at sports events.
Most car thieves don’t need to break into the car. They usually gain entry through unlocked doors and many times they find the key on the car. In fact, one in five stolen cars had the keys left in the car. Isn’t that amazing? Nearly 20% of drivers left the keys in the hole of an unlocked car!
Who steals cars? Well, there are basically two kinds of car thieves: joyriders aged about 21, and professionals. The latter usually needs less than one minute to break into a car and they often steal cars to use in other crimes such as robberies. You are much less likely to get your car back if it’s stolen by a professional, and if it’s stolen by a joyrider, you’ll receive a wreck when you do get it back. Joyriders have a very high accident rate.
Of course, don’t leave the keys hanging in the hole. And don’t hide a spare key inside or outside the car—thieves know all the hiding places. Keep your driver’s license and registration in your wallet or purse, not in the glove compartment of your car. You should also have a record of your car’s vital statistics both in your wallet and somewhere at home. This can help with recovery in case of theft. And finally, it’s a good idea to install some kind of safety device. They don’t want to waste time on trying to steal a protected car.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.
19.What does the speaker say about the car theft?
