YouTube channel Simple Misfits conducted a little social experiment: a white guys tried to steal a car - and then a black guy did. Both fake perpetrators tried to jimmy the locks, and the car alarms sounded.

For the record, whites committed 64% of motor vehicle theft in 2011, while blacks were responsible for only 33.9%, according to FBI statistics.
