YOU were the one who said it was Detroit? If so these people need their cars. Other than in the main part of the city, you can’t get to anything without a car. Your original comment made a valid point but beyond that you just refuse to accept nuance. It doesn’t matter that America would be better without the car infrastructure when that’s not the reality we live in.
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.)

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.
