Smoking leads to stealing cars?

Well, smoking is so expensive that they can't afford to buy a car so they steal one. They'd ask for friends to take them, but smokers don't have any friends.

What I think that disturbes me the most about this, is that not one of the drivers ever put their seatbelt on until the last set and even then it wasn't until later that she put her seatbelt on, Now what if they would have caused some sort of accident or was involved in one, you could have dead stealing car people as well as others possibly dead or seriously injured and then the driver families would try to sue the cops for setting up the bait car. Granted it probably wouldn't hold up in court but it's just the drivers didnt seem to care about their own safety much less safety of others.

I hope they get more than Grand Theft charges.
