GRAND THEFT AUTO

His  car is wrapped in canvas
It’s worth a  100 K 
Can’t leave it on the street, as is
They’ll take his car away.

Car thieves by the dozens 
Trolling, looking for 
A Land Rover or Tesla
Perhaps a new Audi class 4. 

Forget the Fords or Chevys
They are a hassle, a dead end
A Toyota or a Honda, though
Now, they bring the money in.

The garage somewhat amazing
Six guys to each and every car
They strip it down for the parts
Or intact… sell as they are.

Takes them twenty minutes
They are masters of their trade
They know what to junk or cover up
They know just what to save.

If your car is stolen
Call the Police immediately
If you can act fast enough
They could halt  delivery.

They swap out the new engine
Can change the Vin, at will
They are very talented
They are extremely skilled.

Grand theft auto, often glamorized
A business run by thieves
A money making enterprise
They can get just what you need.

Customers pay a fortune
For cars at dealerships
The only people driving luxury cars
Are the extremely, amazingly rich?

Unless you know a felon
Now he could hook you up
I’ll take a Mercedes SUV
I’ll fly cross country, to pick it up. 

Don’t want to get arrested
Can get up to twenty years
Depending on a given state
Most criminal’s biggest fear. 

Bottom line don’t get caught
If you do, keep your mouth shut
Never want to cooperate
Don’t ever give them up!

Do your time, keep quiet 
Your family will be safe
Just like in the Sopranos
Your family’s treated great.

Don’t attempt to stop a car theft
No, not by yourself
Call the 911 help line
For police and professional help.
