Ewww...Iowa. No offense, but that seriously is THE most boring state in the union. :o
Well where I live (in Minnesota), its quite accepted to use "ripped off" anywhere you can use "stolen". I hear it all the time.
I guess its kinda like the whole "pop" and "soda" thing...different...
I don't know how we got on to a stolen car, but if you want context clues, you can translate these sentences, just so I can see what verb works best in what situation.
My car was ripped off.

Thanks! I get it now. I just was looking for a more colloquial word for "to steal". I'm tired of украсть. Sounds too formal and junk.
Can you say "моя машина была ограблена", when you are trying to say "My car was ripped off"?
I'm trying to find a word for "steal" that is a bit more colloquial, such as "rip off".
