Houston (Harris County) has similarly downgraded car theft to “unauthorized use of a motor vehicle”. An unauthorized user of my car stripped $4000 worth of parts from it recently. The unconcerned cop writing the report suggested that I get used to it, as it was becoming more common all the time.

In this case I don't blame the cop. If the cops could do anything then they might be more concerned. They can't do anything if the people above them don't care.
