Why do people steal cars?

Answer 1

People steal cars because they lost their job or have none. People need the money to keep going so a car would be a big hit for cash. What they would do would be to strip the car down and sell the parts separately like the radio, motor, wheels and make a big profit. Stealing cars is a crime and should be shunned, but you should look at the reasons why people are doing it for the first place and find solutions to fix those problems.

The above opinion is right somewhat but the vast majority of car thieves are just that, thieves. They do not steal because they have lost a job. They do not want a job where you have to actually work for a living. They want to make money the easy way by stealing. Blaming society for car thieves is just another example of the victim mentality. They are not victims and they do not steal out of necessity, they steal because they are lazy bums who want to live off other people by stealing their property.
