it turns out that the most popular car for thieves is actually Honda
Civic.

Geez, while I think that the Hummer is one of the most useless
vehicles there is, I still see nothing humorous in one being stolen.

It is amazing that at least two replies want to make this political.

What I don't understand, Marlene, is this "serves you right" mean
streak that you occasionally display. Is that who you really are? Do
you enjoy seeing others suffer misfortune? I hope not.

The Germans have term for it: 'schadenfreude'. Feeling pleasure at the
discomfiture of others, would be a reasonable definition.

It isn't that unusual. I know as a cyclist my dislike of such behemoths in
many-fold: my immediate safety on the road, the amount of gas they consume,
and, yes, the ostentatious display they represent. Hearing about one being
stolen I don't exactly weep in sympathy for the owners.
