They might be committing other crimes, but at least they would not be speeding around in stolen Kias and Hyundais. That seems like a win.

Easily stolen cars lead to nuisance behavior that affects far more than the immediate victim of the theft.

That depends. It's likely less of an issue if they know they can steal a car without confrontation than say car jacking or robbery, which carry a higher risk of people being hurt.
