罗伊·特伦顿以前开出租车。不久前，他改开公共汽车，一点也不后悔，反而觉得新工作刺激多了。 最近，他开车经过卡特福德街时，看见两个贼从商店冲出来，奔向一辆等候的汽车，其中一个还提着装满钱的袋子。 罗伊马上行动，开着公共汽车直冲他们过去。提钱的贼吓得把袋子掉在了地上。 两个贼正想开车逃走，罗伊开着公共汽车撞上了他们的车尾。 那辆被撞坏的车继续往前开，罗伊则停下车，打电话报警。 贼的车损坏严重，很容易辨认。没过多久，警方就拦住了车，把两个人都抓了起来。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《捉贼！》：换了更刺激的工作 → 撞见盗贼逃跑 → 开车逼近，钱袋落地 → 撞上逃跑的汽车 → 停车报警 → 靠车损抓住盗贼。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课同样的对比，说一个自己以前有、如今改变了的习惯。
