Of course it isn't.  Can you imagine something like that trundling
down a German street?  And the article never actually says it
is...sneaky.  Doesn't improve my opinion of them.

I'm sure the German thieves have similar techniques and equipment to
US thieves -- and I'm not at all sure that exporting vehicles that
Germany is tired of to places where they would be likely a net
improvement in the vehicle stock is a bad idea.
