"I can't believe that somebody can do that right ON the street." "Is it anything big?" "WILL anyone help me catch the thief"

Is there anything valuable in there? Is it anything big? No, it is something small, but beautiful. Is anybody going to help me catch the thief?

I can see that somebody is stealing a car. Is anybody going to call the police? I can't believe that somebody would do that right in the middle of the street. Is anybody in the car? No, nobody is in the car. Is anything valuable there? Yes, I think there is something. Is anything big? No, something is small, but beautiful. Is anybody going to help me catch the thief?
Lovely!
Comments on the comments:
1) the = "you already know which one I mean" so: the car = (for example) our car / the car already mentioned
a car = any other car - not a specific car
2) Is anybody calling the police? = 'already, right now'. ...going to...= intending to. (Both good.)
3) ON the street: People walk and play and do things 'in' the street. If we disapprove, 'on' seems to be more idiomatic.(Люди ходят и играть, и делать то, "в" по улице. Если мы не одобряем, 'на' представляется более идиоматических.)
