No one has mentioned Grand Theft Auto but you. I’m not sure why you’ve brought that up, it’s completely unrelated to the conversation.

Thse are your words,

Isn't a stolen car Known as GTA or "Auto theft" ?


Ah, I see the confusion. I think you've missed the word "from" there, as in some item taken from a car not the car itself.

Where I live using the words Grand Theft Auto, with that capitalisation, implies the video game of the same name. We don't have the crime of the same name (we call it Taking without Consent).

Since there's been quite a bit in the news about video game censorship, including GTA, I mistook your comment as trying to change the topic to that. My appologies.


Ah. Yes I see my confusion there too. In my mind many cars get stripped down for parts, hence why my mind went for car theft for parts from the car.

It was big of you to come back and discuss the way you did. Respect.
