a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo sports car...

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri had his Lamborghini Gallardo stolen.
 

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.

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.

Burglarized?

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
