Решение
Различаем глаголы: steal — украсть вещь (steal a car); pickpocket — вор-карманник; mug — напасть и ограбить человека на улице; rob — ограбить место (магазин, банк, заправку) или человека.
My car has been stolen — Present Perfect Passive (has been + -я форма). -я форма steal — stolen. «Мою машину угнали».
Объявления напоминают туристам остерегаться pickpockets — «карманников» (мн. число, ведь be aware of + существительное).
Jack was mugged — Past Simple Passive (was + -я форма): на него напали в тёмной аллее.
Two masked men robbed the petrol station — Past Simple (this morning), «ограбили заправку».
