It’s simple. Execute car thieves as they used to do with horse thieves.
Frankly, I agree. Cars are todays horses. And they are freaking expensive to buy and maintain, like decent horses.
Amen

There are no revenue possibilities for the po-po to investigate and pursue property crimes, therefore they don't.
Now, traffic violations like seat belts, child safety seats, DWI, etc. - that's another story.
Plus those things provide the opportunity to incarcerate somebody.
No romance or adrenalin rush in property crimes.
