I suppose theft is also a problem – there’s a lot of shoplifting in the supermarket. Sometimes thieves also steal cars. We don’t have many other problems, although someone was arrested for breaking into a house. The burglar was caught when he was leaving through the window.

В моём городе не так много серьёзных преступлений. Вандализм, вероятно, самая большая проблема, и его проявлением часто становятся граффити. Думаю, кражи — тоже проблема: в супермаркете часто воруют товары. Иногда воры также угоняют машины. Других проблем у нас немного, хотя кого-то арестовали за проникновение в дом. Грабителя поймали, когда он выбирался через окно.

Выбираем названия явлений для vandalism, theft и shoplifting, а людей, совершающих действия, обозначаем словами thieves и burglar.
