It is sad that this is where our society is at. You are right, many do not want to discuss how car theft is fundamentally unethical. Many want to think that simply passing laws is a solution. Many laws that do not get enforced. Many do not want consequences or punishment for those who do unethical things.

Unethical behavior will only change if there is a consequence. In the US, there is no consequence for many people for unethical behavior. Implementing consequences here is frowned upon.
