A California woman wasn't able to honor her late husband at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta after a thief made off with the balloon her daughter planned to pilot.
Police say Lucinda Wallace's hot air balloon was taken sometime early Saturday morning from the Nativo Hotel. The suspect also took a trailer holding the balloon and a Chevrolet Suburban with a California license plate that reads "baluner."

Of course, contrary to the headline, odds are that the thief was interested in the Suburban & trailer and not the balloon. So SUV stolen, on rampage across southwest...

Scour CraigsList for some methhead selling a balloon for $100 OBO.
By CraigsList, I mean ThiefsList. I hope something awful happens to them someday.
