When I heard about this earlier today, I felt inordinate sadness and lost hope in humanity a bit. Be nice to hitchhiking robots, because you do not know the stories they can tell, you do not know the ways in which they grace this transverse world. Little robot, I'm sad to see you go, snuffed out in such an ugly way. But may there be others like you to grace this world, see the sights and travel under stars?

Little robot woe,

Carefree but now destroyed,
