I don’t agree with this idea because the most common crimes are (3. local) ……………………produced and not imported from other countries. (4. Vandal) ……………………is one of the biggest crimes in my city with bus shelters and shop windows being popular targets. Another popular crime is (5. pay) ……………………parking fines, which is unlikely to be because of immigrants because most of them do not own cars.

This would explain why bicycle (8. thief) ……………………is more common than car crime these days, especially in rich (9. neighbors) ……………………where most cars are protected with electronic alarms. Another reason, though, for so many bicycles getting stolen might be that the (10. punish) ……………………is not very severe compared to car stealing which can land you in prison for a number of years.
