F. Focus on phrasal verbs. Fill in the gaps with the correct form of the phrasal verbs below:

a) get away with / set off / break down / pull away

Yesterday in London, a daring gang of bank robbers robbed a branch of Barclays while security staff were making a delivery. As soon as they had grabbed the money, the gang rushed out into the street and dived into their getaway car waiting outside. However, just as they were pulling away, the engine made a strange noise and the car broke down. The gang did not panic but jumped out and ran around the corner where they found bicycles leaning up against the walls of a college. So they each grabbed one and set off on their creaking machines. Strangely enough, because of the heavy traffic, they managed to negotiate the traffic more quickly than the police in their cars and they got away with over a million pounds in cash.

b) make off with / get away with / stake out / tip off / break in

My wife and children are on holiday at the moment, so I am home alone because I could not get the time off. Of course, the house is empty during the day and last week someone burgled it. I feel absolutely terrible, as if it was my fault. I am sure everything was secure - I had locked all the doors and windows and the dog was there.

They broke in through the backdoor. The police say they put some meat with sleeping pills through the letterbox and when the dog had fallen asleep they went in. They searched the whole house and they made off with all our electrical equipment like the TV, hifis, the children's computer, also my wife's jewellery and so on. It was a professional job - there were no fingerprints. Nothing to help us find out who could have broken in.

The police are investigating and they have spoken to all my neighbours. One neighbour tipped the police of that there was a strange person in our road all the time with a hat pulled low over his face several days before the break-in. The police sent a patrol car round, but they couldn't see anything or anyone suspicious.

Considering the stranger and some unexplained footprints they found in my garden, they think the thieves had been staking out the house for several days before breaking in.

I am really afraid they will get away with it, because so many criminals nowadays do. The footprints are not clear, there are no fingerprints, no one saw anyone they can identify, so unless the police find our possessions when they raid a criminal's hideout, we won't see our things again.
