【解析】解析：本文主要是讲述了三个小偷抢劫、偷窃的案例，以及警察是以什么理由和方法逮捕他们的。

1.解析：细节理解题。根据The police then arrested him for breaking into the school.可知比利时的男子被捕是因为他闯入了一所学校，故答案选B。

2.解析：细节理解题。根据Car Phone A woman was reporting her car was stolen,可知小偷偷了一个女人的车，故答案选A。

3.解析：词义猜测题。由后面的leaving“离开”，和下文说他在柜台上留下了20美元，可从抽屉里拿走的现金总额却是15美元，所以猜测他应该是匆忙的“逃离”，故汉语意思应是“逃跑”，故答案选C。

4.解析：细节理解题。根据They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.可知是小偷去见警察了，所以被警察抓住了，故答案选B。
