Oddly, your post is exactly one year after the last one in this thread. They seem to just be joyriding. I wonder why petty crimes are the theme for my birthday!

a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo sports car...

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri had his Lamborghini Gallardo stolen.

A 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera on display at the San Francisco Auto show at the Moscone Center.

Sometime in the wee hours of Tuesday, a thief climbed up to the roof of the dealership, attached a climbing rope, and then rappelled into the showroom, investigators said.

He - or she - then cut the lock to the dealership's garage door and drove off with Fieri's car.

Considering the car can hit 60 mph in less than four seconds and is capable of topping 190 mph, investigators are presuming the getaway was quick.

File that under crimes against against the English language as she is spoke.

Burglars burgle. If it happens to you then you have been burgled.
I know, I know, 'tis normal usage in some countries, but it's just such an ugly word

The words "burgle" and "burglarize" are both back-formed verbs from the noun "burglar". As far as I could find, both words originated some time in the 1870's.
