#3 My husband thought he wanted one of those fancy espresso machines for his birthday, so I looked into it. We are talking US$1500 for a good one (they look like Porsches, too!), $600+ for the mediocre one for which you have to buy a separate bean grinding machine. I'd say the thieves made the right choice.

BTW, no, Mr. Wife did not get a new espresso machine. He is making do with the classic Italian stovetop espresso pot (for which my mother paid $11 back in 1991).

#6 Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Honda Accord
Mercedes insurance, I cannot afford
If I drove a Porsche, I'd still be ignored
Oh, Lord, wonât you buy me a Honda Accord?

#8 Hey, I've heard this one. They also left the dealership's [film] camera, and when the film was finally developed, it showed the thieves with the Citroens stuck up their nether regions!
