    In many countries people don’t even need cars

    Even here in car-centric Atlanta, I’d be more upset if somebody stole my cargo e-bike than if they stole one of my cars.

        Mine’s just a relatively-humble Lectric XPedition, but I still love the thing more than any of my cars (which is saying a lot, 'cause I’m also a car enthusiast). It would also immediately impact my daily routine in a way that theft of one of my rarely-driven project cars would not.

        (The other issue is that I ought to go check and adjust my insurance policies, because I suspect my out-of-pocket replacement costs would be higher for the bike than the cars.)
