If you're a good enough driver, there's a decent chance you'll never get in a car crash. If you study stealing and security systems enough, and carefully plan, I don't see why you would be likely to be caught eventually. Why is your prior high?

Agreed, with the addition that car crashes are public while stealing is covert, so it's harder to know how much stealing is going on.
