6- Read the following passage, then answer the question:
My car was stolen the other day. I had left it in one of the side-streets for half an hour, but when I returned it was gone. I was surprised that it had been taken because there were plenty of faster, more up-to date models in the street; but perhaps I was the only person foolish enough to leave door unlocked.
I had reported the incident to the police. It was the first time I ever entered a police station and I was slightly nervous and ill-at-ease. However, the people there were so nice and reassuring that soon I felt more at ease. The young officer on duty asked me to write down a description of the lost car to help the police catch the thief. I stated that it was a small 1960 Fiat, number 172 Giza. It was in good condition except that there was a lot of play in the steering wheel. In fact, I was on my way to the agency to have the steering wheel adjusting when the car was stolen. The only accessories in the car were the seat belts and a radio-cassette. The only distinguishing mark that would help the police was a scratch in the paintwork just above the left rear wheel. I was certain that the thief would change its colour and number plate! Next day, the police reported that they had found the car in a side-street five hundred metres away. It was not damaged but someone had stuck a note to the windscreen. It read: "To the Owner: if you want to kill yourself with this steering wheel, go ahead I've got better things to do". Anyway, the thief didn’t laugh for long. He was soon arrested and then it was my turn to laugh.
