He's playing down two concerns/assumptions. First, that there's an organized criminal enterprise involved in stealing cars on island-apparently not (?)
Second, that cars stolen by others besides the nonexistent crime ring are usually drug fiends. Again, maybe not so much as we have heard through the grapevine.
But as you say, the effect on the car owner is the same regardless of the perpetrator's social profile.
