"They've stolen the dashboard, the steering wheel, the brake pedal, even the accelerator (они украли приборную доску, руль /to steer — управлять/, педаль тормоза, даже акселератор /to steal-stole-stolen/)," she cried out (выкрикнула).
However (однако), before the police investigation could start (перед тем, как полицейское расследование могло начаться), the phone rang a second time (телефон зазвонил второй раз /to ring-rang-rung/) and the same voice (и тот же голос) came over the line (появился на линии). "Never mind, I got in the back seat by mistake (забудьте, не обращайте внимания; never — никогда; to mind — помнить, заботиться; the mind - разум; я села на заднее сиденье по ошибке)."

"No," she shouts back (она кричит в ответ), "a pair of socks! (пара носков)"
