Sure. Worth mentioning cars are also insured, so there is no loss for the owner as they get a "refund". That means there is monetary loss for them. The car maker is also happy to sell them a new car. The only people losing are those in between. Just like with software. You know, those people also work for money.

As a poor kid in eastern europe i couldn't afford a car. I would steal one as people would have it covered by insurance and the factory makes thousands of copies each month anyway.

I know a lot of people who still have such sensitivities, they have money and houses and still steal cars just because that's how the grew up.

See, that logic of theft, be it software or hardware, doesn't really make sense. Stealing software is just as bad.
