ESL Podcast ESL Podcast 377 – Reporting a Stolen Car
时间：2019-02-04 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Kenji: Hello, my car was stolen and I want to report it.
Officer: Where was it when it was stolen?
Kenji: It was parked outside of my apartment building. I went outside this morning to drive to work, and it was gone.
Officer: Okay, you need to fill out this form. Put down the make and model of the vehicle, the year, and the color. You’ll also need the license 1 plate number. Do you know the vehicle’s VIN number?
Kenji: No, I don’t.
Officer: That’s okay. Just fill it out and we’ll launch an investigation 2.
Kenji: What do you think the chances are that I’ll recover my car?
Officer: That’s hard to say. If it was stolen by some kids who wanted to take a joyride, they’ll abandon it afterwards and you may get it back in one piece. If it was taken by professional car thieves, that’s a different story. They usually strip the cars of their parts and sell them to chop shops. You may not want your car back after it’s been stripped.
Kenji: I’ll just have to wish for the best.
Officer: We’ll notify you if we have some news.
Kenji: Thanks. In the meantime, I’d better get used to hoofing 3 it around town!
